EMM Labs CDSA SE w/EMM X upgrade Factory upgrade by EMM itself

This was a CDSA XE which was upgraded by EMM Labs itself with the $5000 X upgrade which brought it very close in performance to the XDS1. If you search for CDSA X Upgrade in the Audiogon forums here you will find discussions about it. I am selling because I have an XDS1 now. I sent in the player myself for the upgrade and have owned it since. It is very hard for me to distinguish the sound from the XDS1. The only issue is that a Duracell Battery in the remote had a dry powder leak once and there is some evidence of this inside the remote's battery compartment. But the remote works fine. If you are in the continental US I will have UPS put an outer box with padding around the EMM shipping box and include this in the flat rate. Rating of condition is very conservative. This is a fine unit. Note: box is from the EMM CDSD transport I used to own because it is a better box.
