I thought the gang would be interested to know that an X-01 appeared on AGON for sale today. See the following url:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1107292156

1 to 2 year delay in introducing a new product worldwide? What's wrong with Teac? Instant worldwide deployment is key to any global marketing strategy. The alternative is continuous localized sales Bulimia. Hope our friends at Teac America follow ...

Aldavis, just when I thought the duststorm was starting to settle, you bring news of upcoming new Esoteric products. What else is known about UX-3 and X-03? Will redbook/SACD performance be less, comparable, or better than UX-1 and X-01? Perhaps t...

Thank you 711. I am rooting for you guys!!!

Fascinating review, AVGURU!Yet it is my understanding that you are at this time comparing X-01 to ModWright from memory. In that the two units were not played in the same session. Are you still planning a real A/B shootout? 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Already suggested. But, where can the Chicago-based shootout gang find the EMM devices in the greater Chicago area? 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
711, AVGURU, you and the rest of the Chicago gang are on a brave voyage of discovery. If you seek the ultimate, you may also want to try sourcing a Teac Esoteric G0 external clock generator to connect to the X-01. When I visited Andy Singer shop i...

JMIC76, I do urge you to avoid meaningless appellatives on this thread. The gang is very busy having a load of fun, and while your relativistic views are laudable, their delivery may be found to be somewhat grating.

711, ordering a mighty X-01 for yourself? I's bleeding proud of ya!But remember, the creature will need to be broken in 'real good' before it is worth conducting a meaningful shootout with it.Guido

Wow Alex, if you get around tackling mods to the revered X-01, I'd like to know about it. Pls do keep us posted! 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Alex and all other modifier on the thread, Teac is also OEMming a version of its VRDS transport. Wadia is apparently using it. Have you considered creating your own branded player using this OEM transport? Given what you have already done with Chi...

Rex, not to forget the vintage EAD T1000 transport I own, that is also based on a Pioneer transport.SJMGR, the TEAC Japan page you list is entire written in Japanese. Other than the fact that the P01/D01 combo appears to handle both CD and SACD fo...

I reside in NW Austin and would love to contact fellow audiofiles. Please send me email.Thanks, Guidoguidoc@us.ibm.com 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
APLHIFI, are you sure Teac is using third party transports in DV-50? As Teac is a relatively broad-spectrum vertical integrator, the hypothesis about Teac using Pioneer parts seems--prima face--somewhat unusual.By the way what is a DV-59AVI? The p...
