| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Jordan, price for G25U is $3K in USA.Teajay,Guido and all other guys-here is a link to 6moons Srajan Ebaen Esoteric G25U review:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/esoteric2/g25u.htmlAlthough I personally do not like Mr. Ebaen writing style or his ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Ok, here we go...Jordan, difference between X-03 and UX-3 is indeed very small. I will correct myself-both are around 65-70%, depending on the system. But, to my ears X-03 sounded little bit better in bass(RBCDs) then UX-3.Since I own DV-50s,UX-3 ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, I am glad that you liked sound of Esoteric X-01LTD.Precentage of differences? I would say that X-01 achives about 75% of P-01/D-01/G-0s combo. X-01LTD is little bit better then X-01 but, difference here is within 5%, IMO.As Alex very nicel... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Guido, I did not listen personally so this info is only second hand...My friend compared X-01 against P-03/D-03/G-0s combo. His findings:1. P-03/D-03/G-0s combo is better then X-01 in low level resolution, bass power and definition, midrage presen... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Guidocorona-P-03/D-03 combo(specially with G-0s) is a lot better then X-01 or X-01Limited. Next month there will be a review on Soundstage web site by M.Michelson-very positive one! Esoteric P-03/D-03/G-0s combo is almost as good as P-01/D-01/G-0s... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, I will try to audition EMMLabs combo and Krell Evolution 505 CD/SACD player will be in my system in few weeks. Regarding Krell Evolution Three(3 pieces reference digital player) I will also put my hands on it as soon as it become available... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, good to hear from you!Here is a small Esoteric D-01/P-01/G-0s combo review...First, little bit about build quality-it is absolutely the best made digital gear that ever had a chance to put my fingers on! All the rest(except Weiss) looks re... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective George, not heard X-01Limited yet but, both X-01 and UX-3 sounds very best via balanced connection.Here is some quote from Marc Michelson review at Soundstage:"One note about using the X-01 Limited to its utmost capabilities: While every sonic poi... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Muratc, may I also suggest that you try new Esoteric D-03/P-03/G-0s combo. This combo will cost more or less the same money as Boulder 2020 dac... This is just a thought of mine. Esoteric new units(D-01/P-01/G-0s or D-03/P-03/G-0s combos or X-01 a... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Muratc, Both Boulder 1012 or 2020 are excellent units. Even today these designs sounds very good indeed. Metronome Kalista Reference is probably one of the most expensive(and from design point if view one of the most interesting) cd transports cur... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, some of us have to work... I have in my system No.1 Esoteric D-01/P-01/G-0s combo for few days. It is little bit too early for final judgment but, my feeling is that it is better in few very important areas of sound then my Weiss combo. Si... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective In two weeks time I will have Esoteric D-01/P-01/G-0s combo for audition. If this combo will be better then my Weiss combo it will stay in my system.Interesting thing-Esoteric just introduced P-03Universal transport in Japan(USA & Europe late ... | |
| Audio Research Reference CD-7 Barrelchief, here is small review of CD7. Biggest suprise for me was REF CD7 bass! It is very deep and nicely defined for tube unit! This player has very good PRAT, which is good for tube based unit. Whole presentation is powerful but, not with fo... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, I agree with you! There is no "THE BEST" digital gear in the world! EMMLabs gear is ONE of the leaders currently on the market but, there are many others that are at least in the same class... Best offers from Esoteric,dCS and Weiss are mo... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I am glad that my advice regarding CDSD was right. My guess was that EMMLabs DCC2 would sound very best with CDSD-very good that is the case(for your pocket!).Regarding Weiss combo, it is an imperative to use absolutely identical two AES... |
