Thanks again @thyname
I would prefer to stay within the Esoteric line to the extent possible. Ive read great things about the N-01XD, but sadly cant stretch to it. And if the N-05XD has not fallen far off the tree, then i can buy it blind. The only thing needed is a little user confirmation, that in paring down the N-01 XD to arrive at the price point of the N-05 XD not a lot has been scarificed.
Iam mainly looking for a more relaxing sound, with slight warmth, but without sacrificing detail in the bargain. Does the new Esoteric sound fit this bill in your good opinion. Thanks
@mahler123 the esoteric's use the same app as Lumin. Ive read that esoteric has out sourced the streaming software and firmware updates to Lumin.
Thanks and best regards
