Re: DAC Comparison not going well …
We're you able to clock the N-01xd as well? It responds really well to clocking.

Re: DAC Comparison not going well …
The N-01XD + clock is insanely good. I don't see how anyone wouldn't be happy with that. How were you feeding the N-01XD? Ethernet? From the P-02x? USB?
I use optical ethernet to the... -

Re: Esoteric XD Series
I have not played with them, I got a shunyata clock 50, several years ago and called it a day. I might try their latest.
I'm also clocking my etherregen.

Re: Esoteric XD Series
Clock. I feel that a clock is damn near mandatory for an esoteric dac. It is a huge upgrade.

Re: Lumin 14.4
I just did this for my esoteric n01xd. I assume it is the same features/improvements as the lumin one, just a few months behind?

I was one of Mike's guests. I was really impressed with the wadax. When I saw it in pictures, it seemed ugly to me. In person, it oozed class and craftsmanship. Quite a striking statement piece....

Re: Roon 1.8 - a sonic success!
I didn't notice much of a sonic change, but I used to have a lot of hanging (spinning death star). This release fixed all my problems with that!

Whatever the latest one that puts out 10mhz and has a separate power supply. I think it's the op21a? I think it is only available from the factory. Mike is using it with his esoteric gear.

Re: Is my hearing getting better as I get older
Yes, I've had many Wilson's, and I've changed the resistors a few times. But I've never changed the values from stock. I might try that.

Hmmm I have Wilson alexx. I never thought about trying this. Maybe when I'm due for a resistor change I will ask about it!
