Electrocompaniet EMC 1 MKV REFERENCE CD PLAYER
EMC 1 MKV REFERENCE CD PLAYER
Since 1998, Electrocompaniet has produced one of the best sounding CD players on the market, the EMC 1 UP. The new EMC 1 MKV builds upon this legacy and refines by using a new drive unit.
The MKV also introduces updated electronics for better sonic performance, new mechanics for more rigid construction and brand new chassis with updated design to be in line with the new MKII edition of our other products.

"A CD player and nothing else – there aren't even digital filters to experiment with, let alone inputs – Electrocompaniet's EMC 1 MKV isn't meant to be the hub of a multi-format system. Yet silver disc collectors will find their library is in very safe hands, as this fifth-gen flagship makes CDs sound thrillingly musical, and does so from a glamorous, well-engineered machine that's a real pleasure to use." - Mark Craven
