| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat:Me too. I am more inclined to Esoteric or Soulution. I may not do full p1/d1 system initially. I may combine like p1/d02 or p02/d1.A dealer made me a very nice offer to switch p01vuk to p02 transport which works better with newer dacs. ... | |
| Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini To Elberoth:Can you play sacds by using Puccini as a transport and Scarlatti or Vivaldi DAC ? | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat:I spoke with a friend who auditioned the Vivaldi stack.He liked a lot more than the older Scarlatti stack and the newer Puccini. He wanted to try just the dac without the clock/transport and upsampler to be used with his Scarlatti trans... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hi Eelii,Welcome back. What is different in mk2 of 6300 versus the regular 6300 ?If I am not mistaken the only change is better isolation. In which area or areas is it better ?Same question goes for 9500 as well versus 9300 (assuming that you have... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 If I End up liking D1, I will continue using p01 for some time. I will sell or trade in both D02 and D03 DACs.As for The Vivaldi DAC I will do the same, but I will keep The D03 for SACD playback since dsd is only possible through USB or by using V... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat:As for the P01 VUK transport (list 42k, my deal was 30k) there is a huge loss of value. Now it is worth %25-30 of its value. That is why I recommend buying last possible gear possible or if an older design a used or demo piece. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat:You're welcome. It is more like personal opinion based on personal taste and some experience. I would be glad if they are helpful in anyway.To Guido :If you buy a dedicated Esoteric transport to be paired with Rowland Aeris DAC, please ... | |
| Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini Obviously I cant due to dCS coded connection. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To colekat:Now I am on the verge of switching to the new p1/d1 or Vivaldi or maybe the new Soulution 745 with the new upgraded DSP.I will try to hear and compare all of them. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To colekat:I paid around 30k for a new special order p01 vuk in 2011 November (almost 2012). It is resale value is aound 10-12k now. I paid 13K for D03 Dac in March 2011 and its resale value is around 5-6k if you are lucky. I paid 15k for g0rb and... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat:There is one area that I disagree regarding the Esoteric gear, their resale value is not good if you paid for a new gear. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat :I place Esoteric transports above all. I am not a big fond of The new D02 dac in some areas I mentioned before. I think K series of single box players and D02 are the first examples of a new era in Esoteric sound and the following Dacs... | |
| Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini Can I use Esoteric p01 or p02 transports with Vivaldi DAC to stream DSD/SACD by using dual AES ? | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 You're welcome. I liked the DAC stage of K01. I compared it when it first came out back in 2011 with p03/d03. The DAC stage was better than d03 with pcm or cds. I first didnt like the sound of K01 compared to p03/d03. I found it too dry for my tas... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Guido:I didnt compare directly p05 transport with x-01 as a transport, but I rather compared p05/d05 with x-01. So, x-01 being ranked as 4th may not be accurate, but it is definitely ranked below p01,p02 and p03. |
