About the TXi

The EMM Labs TXi Transport represents a purist, no-compromise CD transport dedicated to delivering flawless performance in high-end digital playback. Developed entirely in-house by EMM Labs, the TXi combines precision engineering with tactile elegance through its hybrid transport mechanism that merges top-loader and traditional drawer functionality. The device features a CNC-machined, damped aluminum chassis providing high rigidity and vibration control. At its core is the next-generation Meitner X-Power System, an in-house engineered switch-mode power supply delivering ultra-low noise, minimal ripple, and class-defining power stability. The TXi communicates seamlessly with EMM Labs' flagship DA2i and DV2i converters through the proprietary EMM Optilink connection, which transmits digital data with absolute precision and timing integrity. Integration is seamless with robust RS232 communication, allowing the DAC to become the intuitive user interface for the transport. The transport mechanism itself has been completely reworked from an OEM base and placed on a suspension system to drastically limit vibration sensitivity. Designed specifically for CD playback, the TXi is intended for discerning audiophiles and EMM Labs customers seeking reference-quality digital front-end performance.
