Nevertheless, it continues to offer top-quality electronics, and this year proves that it too still believes in the CD format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To its catalog of seven products &#8211; including two DA2i and DV2i DACs and a phono preamp dedicated to DS Audio- EMM Labs has added a pure CD transport. Named TXi Transport, it comes as a double surprise, proving that the brand still believes in this medium in the very high-end market, but offering to read only the CD format (44.1 kHz\/16 bit) and therefore not SACD, even though one of the principal engineers in the development of this medium (and therefore of the 1-bit DSD digital format) is none other than Ed Meitner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated to afficionados of the CD object, the TXi Transport is above all intended for EMM Labs customers in possession of one of the brand&#8217;s digital-to-analog converters. This is because, on the rear panel, there is only one connection to a DAC: the EMM Optilink, which sends a signal that is then resynchronized by the converters&#8217; clocks. On the other side, there is only an RS232 socket for communicating with the brand&#8217;s other devices, and of course a mains socket, which supplies a current that is then carefully filtered by a power supply with a specific architecture, designed to reduce resonance and ripple noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken over from an unspecified OEM manufacturer, the playback mechanism has been totally reworked by EMM Labs and placed on a suspension system to drastically limit its reaction to vibrations. The ultra-rigid CNC-machined aluminum chassis brings the total weight of the device to 15 kg. Pricing is currently only available in US dollars: $12 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>24\/06\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TXI-1-3-white-black.png.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TXI-1-3-white-black.png.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TXI-1-3-white-black.png-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TXI-1-3-white-black.png-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/TXI-1-3-white-black.png-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A notable Canadian high-end hi-fi company, EMM Labs is now better identified in some markets by its more affordable second brand, Meitner.
