New Esoteric P02 D02


Hello,

Seems like there is a new set up separates from Esoteric. The P02 D02. Hven't seen any info out there at all, but it is for sale already at retailers. Not a substitute of the P03 D03 as expected, that are still selling as well, but a new category in between de 01s and 03s. DACs and inputs seem like an upgrade of the K01.

Anyone has any info, or heard of this? You can read about it at Esoteric parent company home page (in Japan but in English).

Price in Europe is 3.000 Euros higher than the 03s per unit (so +6000 EUros higher in total)

Any feedback, info news?

Thanks
Eli

Hi eelii008, I made the move on the G-01 clock, after reading your thread on the clock, I'm like a kid on on Christmas morning, can't wait. I have the Xlr out at 0db, what advantage did you notice with the output at 6db. I am using the Esoteric C-02 as my pre, and find the 0db output is better for low level listening. What are you current IC's and Clock cables, and how are connected into your clock. thanks for any help, great thread! Tom.
Hi Colecat,
Congrats on your G-01, I use G-0 rubidium model and I liked a lot. Most significant upgrate
Hi Hal123, I look forward to getting the clock after reading this thread. What cabling are you using? I hear Esoterics 6100 BNC's are great with the clock ! Any advice greatly appreciated, Thanks Tom
I've used the following for clock cables with very good results; Audioquest Eagle Eye BNC:BNC, Tara 0.8 Digital BNC:BNC with separate HFX Ground Station, VH Audio Digital Cable BNC:BNC and over the past 2 years, the Kubala-Sosna Emotion BNC:BNC cables. I'm sticking with the K-S cables as they are the best I've found at this point given those I've tried. I've also heard very good things about the Mexcel-Esoteric cables....
Hi Colecat,
I am using Analysis Plus Digital Oval BNC cable for clocking. I actually didnt tried more expensive cables but analysis plus digital oval cable gave me satisfastory results for that and cost resonably less. For digital connection cable makes difference yes but for BNC cables clocking maybe my last think to consider for upgrade. I heart good things for Mexcel-Esoteric cables, but this investment is kind of over spending for me now. I obtained best results on connecting both on same output with 176 Khz, on some CD's interestingly 44 kHz give more detailed sound, but setting on 176 Khz give allround depth and well defined soundstage. I tried different power cords for clocking unit but heard no difference, Esetoric also says the unit is not sensible on AC power. If anybody have different experience please let us inform, only think that I observed clocking unit is sensible on temperature, locate your unit far from your amplifier, unit must placed on a fresh area far from amplifiers mostly tubes, and I let clock unit open all the time.
