Thanks for this very detailed feedback. I have a more recent CD player K01xs that I enjoyed very much and which started the transition to a fuller sound. Next week will try to test it as a transport...

I listened for the first time today to the combo P1X/D1X and in one word : exceptional particularly with SACD : as expected with Esoteric transparency,clarity,dynamics,soundstage but at the same time...

Hello

How would you compare the X1 DAC performance compared to "pure" DAC in the 5k-10k range ? Or asking it differently from which DAC level would we appreciate an improvement using the X1 as a...

Hello

Looking for a SACD and CD transport, I am hesitating between the MSB transport and Esoteric Grandioso K1.
Did anyone compare those two products as a pure CD transport ( using AES output...

Hi all

Did anyone is using his Esoteric gear as a "pure" transport when playing CDs ?
