Happy New Year, Mike! Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate taking the time for such a detailed answer, very useful indeed! Keep up the good work, hope for a great 2022!
Excellent, well balanced compare. In fact I didn’t realise Esoteric had moved to making their own discrete DAC chip.
More Esoteric reviews please! Thanks.

Nice!
Mike I really enjoy your channel. I would be interested in getting your observations and comparisons between the Luxman d-10x and Esoteric 03xd SACD players since they are in similar price range. Love your store!

Thanks. We love both, but I’m really smitten with the sound and look of the K-03XD. Some prefer the Luxman classic styling. Others like me, love the more modern look of the K-03XD. Hard to go wrong with either.
Mike, what is your opinion - esoteric n 05 xd or auralic vega2.1 or aurender a15?

Detailed, transparent, little warmth and lack of coloration is what I heard.
The Weiss 501 MkII was underwhelming. Poor construction, average performance and massively overpriced. It's really a £2K DAC. Super disappointed with it.

Really? That's an interesting opinion. 1st negative opinion I've seen lately. Best wishes on your audio setup

@@johnratcliffe6438 yeah. I'm in the entriest of entry level right now so can't have an opinion. But I've been hearing insane level of praise for them. So had me question you just out of curiosity. Hope you get a better dac soon. And congrats on being able to afford stuff lol. 😂 What's your rest of the setup if you don't mind me asking?
