I've been usng the Audio Aero Capitole mk2 with SE upgrade for the past year or so. Recently I auditioned the Esoteric X-03 with my current system. I found the X-03 more textured with better octave to ovtave performance. As much as I liked the AA, the Esoteric was the better perfomer in my system. I'll be sending the X-03 to Esoteric to receive the SE upgrade next week.
Esoteric DV-50s,X-03 Vs Musical Fidelity Trivista
I currently own a Musical Fidelity Trivista SACD/CD Player. It has become my Reference player after trying a few others like the Sony SCD-1, Marantz Sa11S1, Sony SCD-XA777ES, Sony SCD-XA9000ES, Rotel RCD991 AE,Denon DCD SA-10,Shanling SCD T-200 and the Marantz SA-1. Although some of these players hold their own characteristic in music I have found that the Musical Fidelity Trivista Player is one of the most complete SACD/CD Players around in music reproduction. Not just for SACD playing but as well as for Redbook Cds. I am considering trying the Esoteric line to see how it compares to my Trivista and I will like to know if there is anyone who has heard both units and can share their experiences with both units. I know that the DV-50s is also a Universal DVD player but I have read that it is also an Outstanding SACD/CD Player.I also understand that every player will have the tendency of sounding different from one system to another due to cables,amplifiers,Interconnects and Preamp/Processors used but I just want to have an overall idea of what people think about both units.
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
