    Esoteric P-05 connect to new Esoteric DAC

    I am using old Esoterc P-05 with D-05 for playing SACD. Now my D-05 is out of order but new Esoteric D-05X or N-01/01XD etc makes use of ES-LINK with no dual AES. Do you know if my P-05 could connect to new Esoteric DAC for SACD playback? How?

    N-01 doesn't support ES-LINK. Connect an Esoteric SACD transport to N-01 via XLR does support DSD playback.

    But N-01 has single XLR only, would it work with P-05 for playing SACD?

    Thanks, it really works!
    My P-05 could send SACD signal to my newly bought N-05XD using single XLR in format of ES-link2.

    Well yes. It's designed to work that way within the Esoteric ecosystem.

    How do you like N-05XD?

    Use a Shunyata Sigma or Omega for that and you'll be grinning with the result.

    The P-05x has two XLR ES-Link outs, right and left. The N-05XD has only one digital XLR input. How can it possibly work?

    Easy. Configure the P-05X as single XLR output.
