Hello from Old Europe ;-) Has anybody heard the new TEAC (Esoteric) X-01 SACD/CD player? Can anybody comment on this masterpiece (approx. 12,000 USD)? Conrad
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but with the end of the Cold War, numerous Eastern Europe emerging economies and the EU stuff... I am confused... where exactly is Old Europe?
I actually called TEAC-USA to ask when more information would be available. They said the unit will be imported to the US sometime by mid 2004. The rep mentioned it will likely only be available in silver which is strange considering the DV-50 is only available in black here in the US. Perhaps they are only made in silver. For obvious reasons I didnt ask about Old Europe. He said more information would be forthcoming at CES in January.
With the fervor the DV-50 created I am very much interested in hearing about the UX-1. Although its likely out of my budget for now.
I called Japan inquiring about Hong Kong. They also said mid 2004. They said that it is a new model and they will evaluate performance, make enhancements, etc. based upon the feedback from the Japanese market.
Am also on the fence now as to whether to get a DV-50, wait for the UX-1, or both. The list for both units is 1.2M yen or so.
