Esoteric is constantly evolving. They dont even use DAC Chips anymore. There is no money in upgrading which is why companies don't bother with it. ESOTERIC is always changing ownership which doesn't help with consistency either. They are always chasing the next buck to keep the doors open and stay solvent
Why does Esoteric refuse to update its older models ?
I spoke to a Esoterc dealer who said all older models discontinued have all disappeared from the shelf. The only older models are on Ebay ! One cannot update an older model. Is the company trying to destroy itself ? The models are all very expensive !
