@Mike where do you store all the boxes? Nice problem to have!

I wouldn't get too worked up about the choice of device connection interfaces. No USB is hardly a deal breaker.

You have to insure for the value of the contents itemized on the airwaybill. If two mono amps are on the AWB the total value must be declared for insurance. Or put them on separate AWB and insure one but not the other, and hope the one that goes missing is the insured one.

Not mine either. Dog ugly comes to mind, but I'm sure it sounds great.

SP has room to improve with the external power option. Esoteric does not.

Are you going to get the optional power supply for the SP? I had SP side-by-side with Esoteric D1XSE with 10 audiophiles in the same room. All 10 said the Esoteric was better. I'd like to do that comparison again with the optional power supply.

Do we have any Titan-15 owners here? I'm thinking of upgrading from SsubMk1.

The guys here on @Mike forum are a great bunch. Unlike that pack of back biting imbeciles on another forum closer to home that shall remain nameless. But you know what I'm talking about.

The cables undergo KPIPv2 processing at the factory. Burn-in should not be an issue. And if it is, just enjoy the ride.

The firmware release notes were not very detailed, but this is what is addressed in the latest release: The ESOTERIC I/F Firmware V1.20 mainly provides improvements to network functions and compatibility. The update includes single-track repeat playback support, QQ Music display support, and...

If the I/F update has broken attached storage playback Esoteric needs to know about it (via the dealer/distributor channel).

Considering it comes close to N1T + D1XSE performance it's a bargain.

Is the attached HDD single partition?

Yes, I preferred D1X over Select 2. And then I upgraded to D1XSE.

For owners of Grandioso N1 and N1T there is a new I/F firmware update v1.20 available on the Esoteric website. After performing the update there is a network module update on Esoteric Soundstream app.
