Electrocompaniet`s CD player EMC 1 has roots dating from 1998, and was at that time a highly prized CD player. Also when an upgraded version arrived - ECM 1-UP had upsampling.
Now around 17 years after launch, an ultimate edition arrive. EMC 1 MK III can play both CD and SACD. Electrocompaniet still stick to a topploader mechanism with puck. The manufacturer offers both RCA and XLR outputs, and digital outputs in terms of both coax and optical.
