Your Esoteric should sound better on its own than the PS audio modified by "Richard" (whoever he is) and his electronics...Sounds like a unnecessary downgrade for the sake of tinkering pleasure.
external DAC
Hey, I have an Esoteric k-01x sacd /cd player that I'm thinking of running through an external PS audio direct stream mk1 that has been modified by richards electronics, I have been informed to make sure that the esoteric passes the sacd digital out to the XLR (AES/EBU), does anyone know if this does happen. On their website there is a schematic which from what I can tell would pass it through, but would like confirmation. Thanks for the input, Neil
