Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator


Hi guys,

Anyone here by chance tried these on their esoteric cd player ?

is it worth paying $4,000 fr this device ?

What improvements can be brought about with this unit ?

Thinking of this for use with the X-03 SE in the future.

Does high quality BNC digital cable make an audible difference ?

Thanks for inputs.

.....I will bump this one again. Looking at purchasing the G-03x Esoteric clock. I should have it in my system by next week which includes the P-05 / D-05. I am buying on reviews and what others have said, in that it does improve the overall sound. I agree and don't agree with Audiofeil's assesement....I added a Nirvana BNC Cable between the dac and transport and there was a sonic improvement - more clarity / more resolution. I spoke with Esoteric and they said if you heard that, then magnify that improvement 2 fold, 3 fold and that's what a G-03x will do. I will purchasing a year old clock from a dealer who is taking it in trade towards the flagship Esoteric clock......so, I am puting down some money but not the full shot so that also helps with the decision. But, I have heard they do make a difference and will comment once it gets in the system.
......I just purchased a used Esoteric G-03x from an authorized dealer to compliment my Esoteric P-05 - D-05 set up. It has been in my system from about 2 days now......all I can say is ; '' eeehhhhhh ''. If I had paid full price or even a new one with a nice dealer friendly discount, I would be real pissed off right about now. No great shakes from my end.....
Hello Audiofeil.....yes, you were correct. When I hooked up the ''word sync'' with the Nirvana cable - my system had a nice little shift towards an '' analog '' sound. When I added the G-03x clock - the system shifted a little more towards an analog sound. But, even at the price I paid.....not worth it. As we all know in this hobby - sometimes the law of diminishing return steps up - and what we pay for a perceived sonic improvement in sound is just not worth .....my opinion
