New Esoteric P02 D02

Hello,

Seems like there is a new set up separates from Esoteric. The P02 D02. Hven't seen any info out there at all, but it is for sale already at retailers. Not a substitute of the P03 D03 as expected, that are still selling as well, but a new category in between de 01s and 03s. DACs and inputs seem like an upgrade of the K01.

Anyone has any info, or heard of this? You can read about it at Esoteric parent company home page (in Japan but in English).

Price in Europe is 3.000 Euros higher than the 03s per unit (so +6000 EUros higher in total)

Any feedback, info news?

Thanks
Eli

Hi all. Does anybody used power conditioners with their esoteric Black Noise filters with good results but dealer warned me on power fluctuations problems since esoteric doesnt have AC fuse inside, suggest me to use ps audio products for AC protection and voltage stability.

Hi Colecat,
I am using Analysis Plus Digital Oval BNC cable for clocking. I actually didnt tried more expensive cables but analysis plus digital oval cable gave me satisfastory results for that and cost resonably less. For digital connection cable makes difference yes but for BNC cables clocking maybe my last think to consider for upgrade. I heart good things for Mexcel-Esoteric cables, but this investment is kind of over spending for me now. I obtained best results on connecting both on same output with 176 Khz, on some CD's interestingly 44 kHz give more detailed sound, but setting on 176 Khz give allround depth and well defined soundstage. I tried different power cords for clocking unit but heard no difference, Esetoric also says the unit is not sensible on AC power. If anybody have different experience please let us inform, only think that I observed clocking unit is sensible on temperature, locate your unit far from your amplifier, unit must placed on a fresh area far from amplifiers mostly tubes, and I let clock unit open all the time. Regards

Hi Eelii,
I am also curious on hearing differencies of Mexcel cables on clocking unit. I was spectical on cable differencies for clocking unit but audio hobby has always kind of tricky surprises. I know that esoteric products are designed for Acrolink Mexcel cables..I would be happy to hear your findings with Mexcel cables.
Colecat: Esoterics needs more than 400-500 hours to settle, as far as I know you have to burn same outboard..I made burning on dual XLR outboard and music becamed more detailed and less digital artifacts, I am on 700-800 hours and still have impression that sound is still developing. One thing that I am sure of power cables made terrific differencies on mostly transport..
