    Yes, that’s the plan. Right now the focus is getting the new SE’s out the door. Then I think they will formulate the upgrade program. But the plan is for it to be done in-house in the USA. Esoteric sure is busy! SE models and tone arm...

    I know this is hard to comprehend, but it’s new tech and far exceeds the Select II with the digital director today. Price? Less expensive by nearly 50% of that previous combo. $95k MSRP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    I continue to be very impressed with the Esoteric “Master Discrete DAC”. I’ve owned my N-01XD for a couple of years and it continues to impress. I believe one would have to spend at least 2X to get better sound.

    It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc). In my opinion…. Best DAC’s for DSD: - Esoteric - Lampizator - Meitner/EMM (not my kind of sound, but they execute it...
