I was very surprised at the results of trying this SACD again with both the updated EMM DA2i D/A and the EMM PRE.  The sense of congestion was entirely gone.  For all practical purposes, so was the brightness (or sense of brightness, as the case may be).  What happened?  I believe it is the clarity of the decoding/processing operation in the DA2i, combined with the exceptional clarity of the EMM preamp.  The result is an excellent musical experience that is not the least fatiguing (as it tended to be in the past), but is instead delightful in its detail, sparkle and energy.  The top end is open, the cymbals are airy and authentic.  The strings are smooth and reasonably warm.  An excellent listen.
