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 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. Regards
Hal123, I use Analysis Plus Silver Oval ICs on alot of my system, but I use WireWorld Platinum Eclipse Series 7 ICs and BNC clock between the DAC and Transport. Definately great cables! I believe I can get better performance if I can get the Power Cords right, that is where I believe I can improve. I use Shunyata ZiTrons but I want to try the Mexcel cables. After reading eelii008 , he is very confident that the Esoteric cables perform best. So thats my next move, although there not cheap... But this is not a hobby for the penny pincher, thats for sure!!
Thanks for the reminder to you both; I also used Analysis Plus Digital Oval2 cables for clocking for a little over a year with very good results. Apologies for leaving these off my earlier list. In terms of Price to Performance ratio for clocking options, the Digital Oval2 is a fantastic choice...
Hi Zepher, do you have any tubes in the chain? I agree with you on the Analysis Plus Cables, they are hard to beat for the price!!!
No tubes in the chain...while I've heard and love some of the aspects of tube equipment, I've focused on getting my solid-state-only setup as far along as possible.
