Is the RAM Modified Esound E5 the REAL THING?


There are all sorts of claims that this thing is better than a stock Esoteric X01 limited. Are these claims true? Can their mods really take this $800 unit to an over $10k unit for only $3k?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Upon closer inspection on the RAM website nothing makes sense. The same superclock installed in the Oppo or an Esoteric is drastically different in price. Why? It appears that the price of mods is dependent on the price of the machine, and not on the price of the actual mod.
Megasam,

Please don't take this as attacking but look at the price of the super clock 4 with PSU for the following, this is what I get from their website: Esound: $590, Marantz 8001: $700, Marantz SA-11: $750. You are correct, the Esoteric ones are the same.....it just seems the Marantz has the escalating pricing.
