Something new from Esoteric?
Esoteric Japan had this sneak peek on their FB page.
Definitely can see the headphone input. Perhaps a headphone amp? Maybe a DAC/Streamer with a headphone amp?
I’m just guessing....mums the word at Esoteric!

Re: Something new from Esoteric?
Perhaps the successor to the N-05? The N-05XD?
If so, would be interesting to compare to the Meitner MA-3

Likely a N-01XD with headphone amp built in. Similar to dCS Bartok which comes in two versions: with or without headphones amp built in

Re: Something new from Esoteric?
I’ll be in the market for a good Dac/headphone amp this spring and been considering Bartok and Chord Dave. Would be nice to have a similar option from Esoteric.

From your videos, and in my humble headphones, I prefer the Kharma with the Classe monoblocks. But they are different discs and different recordings. Anyway, we can "see" that these speakers play...
