Just the Museatex - I meant it's a DAC designed by Ed Meitner. I guess they are two distinct brands.

So is it a 100% Meitner design or not? Or dunno? EDIT: Jsut read above. I believe it should be very good then, Jerry

Yes, I'm pretty sure all of the Meitner and Museatex products were Ed Meitner designs.
Museatex might have come first. Then Meitner, then EMM Labs.

Interesting article here about Museatex and the Melior DAC in particular - http://www.soundbsessive.com/museatex-bitstream-dac/

When I was running ML Ascent/Descent a chap brought his EMM Labs SACD playyer round. Now that was great disc spinner. The best solid state digital I have ever heard (in a system I have owned) to this day I think. Crazy expensive. Knockout good.

AoSer Cyclopse has a Meitner DAC I've heard. He should visit you so you can do compares, just like audiophile nerdy types like us do
