Re: Diablo, Esoteric plus Bryston or just Esoteric?
Diablo 300 is long in the tooth. If budget has some flexibility, I’d look for other alternatives you and others have suggested above. I did own 300 for 6 years, very competent piece.

Re: *NEW* Esoteric N-05XD
I’d guess it’s the break-in. Give it 300 or so hours just to be on the safe side. IME, it went from I didn’t quite like the sound to they may have over engineered this thing for the price.

Anyone familiar with Soulnote?
I was looking into their P-3 SE preamp and looks to be extremely well built. Seemingly offer more in the box than similarly priced competitions.
I really like the look as well and rivals Esoteric... -

Interesting. I use it as a preamp to drive my Luxman M10x and always feel dynamics are off the chart.

Re: *NEW* Esoteric N-05XD
1. No. You have to use the remote, which is a very well-built one BTW.

They’re playing C10X or just display only? I can’t help but wonder C10X vs. C1X Solo vs. Soulution 525.
BTW which speakers in Luxman room?

*NEW* Esoteric N-05XD
One advantage about N-05XD is its master clock input. If you think N-05XD sounds good without a master clock, wait until you listen it with either Cybershaft master clock or Mutec master clock.
