@jafant Excellent player. If you get a chance, the new Graceline cable from Black Cat cable, or the Zenwave cables from Dave are a superb match up with Esoteric Digital gear.
Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners
I have a Esoteric UX-3 Universal player that went for around 8,500.00. Presently I am using a MIT AVT 1 interconnect from the player to my preamp. I really love the sound of the system as is, but I am wondering if I am really hearing all the player has to offer by using a 200.00 cable on an 8,500.00 component. Other than using the Esoteric branded cables which are waaaay too expensive, what are other Esoteric owners using? Do I really need to spend a lot of money to get a good match, as I want to keep the price reasonable.

@jafant I own a Esoteric DV60. More than impressed with the SQ of this model. I use the DV60 for audio only, where it shines on Redbook or SACD playback. |
@jafant I actually think Redbook sounds incredible on this player. However, you have to turn off the video components of the player, otherwise the SQ seriously suffers. I also noticed that the player ( like most others) really responds to different cables. For Redbook, I have found a copper based cable is required, the Zenwave cable I am now using is a match made in heaven. |
