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.

Well, curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to do another experiment. I played the "A" side of each album listed below. These are very familiar albums to me, and I have already played them all...
