I don't know, I must be getting old as I found the ERC1 and the ERC 2, to be very rolled off on the high end. Built like a tank, heavy remote but the high end was not there. I bought mine used just because I love there amps. Sold it ASAP and bought a Rotel RCD 1070 (Retail: $700) that blew it away!I see a lot of them come up for resale on the net! |

I bought the very nice looking ERC2 for a second system and I am very impressed with it. It has great transparency and is engaging to listen to for long periods. It even competes with two other much more expensive players I have in certain respects. My trusted Cambridge 840C and Denon DCD A100 have more low end weight and are more refined on top (especially on classical strings) but surprisingly the ERC is just as detailed and dynamic through my modest $20K system, though most of the time it doesn't sound as lush for whatever reason. Otherwise I have nothing to complain about, save the noisy slot loader. To my ears its best attribute is the relaxed and neutral midrange (not as full as the Denon but rounder than the Cambridge). Based on what I've heard I would say the Emotiva is as good as players in the $800 - $1.2K range (such as the Marantz 8001/8003/8004 and the better NADs, Cambridges and Rotels) and better than most DVD players using switch-mode power supplies regardless of price (including the OPPOs with or without cooling fans). God bless those nice people in Franklin Tennessee for coming up with this bargain of a cd player. |

This Emotiva ERC 2 CD Player arrived yesterday ,and I haven,t taken a break listening to my old CDs yet. It,s all new music again, I'm hearing things I never herd before. For the price and warranty you can,t beat it. This unit replaces a CD player costing double the price 10 years ago, would be five times in today's money. |

This os a great unit from a very well thought out company proving quality doesn't have to cost you as much as the home you put it in.

This is a review for the Emotiva ERC-1 CD player. I purchased this unit new, and have used for about 2 weeks. I replaced the Rotel RCD-1072, which is a fine player, but I was curious and itching for something new, so I took the plunge.
