I briefly tried the Esoteric SA-10 in my system and although a decent CD player it lacks musicality and doesn't sound organic and analogue. Detail is good but there is just something missing with the player. It can't seem to convey the soul and emotion in music as much as I like it to be. To each his own. I am still looking for a more analogue sounding player, or DAC.
Is Esoteric SA-10 sonically as good as DV-50 or 60
I am finally ready to upgrade from my Classe DAC-1 and CDT-1. It sounds like the Esoteric products give the most bang for the buck, especially the DV-50 and DV-60 units. I do not need the video so was wondering if the SA-10 sounds similar to these units? My other consideration is the new Power Wave server products from PS Audio. Thanks for input.
