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.

Thank You for the TA cable mention. Did you have TA calibrate your Reference XL for the Esoteric?

I did enjoy SACD playback only, on the DV-60. I did not like CD playback.

 

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the Black Cat suggestion. I seem to recall your owning an Esoteric player? Which model?

Re-viving an older thread here. I purchased my 1st Esoteric spinner. A DV-50 in mint condition. A little older, I know. Hopefully not long in the Tooth.

 

Happy Listening!
