Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
711, ordering a mighty X-01 for yourself? I's bleeding proud of ya!But remember, the creature will need to be broken in 'real good' before it is worth conducting a meaningful shootout with it.Guido

Wow Alex, if you get around tackling mods to the revered X-01, I'd like to know about it. Pls do keep us posted!

EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Have any of you guys done some comparative listening of the EMM combo with the Teac Esoteric X-01? Have not listened to EMM yet, but have listened both to X-01 and to the Esoteric P70/D70 combo, and found both astonishingly good.

REB1208, while your comments about inverted polarity on Marantz may be shedding some light on the lack of detail perceived on these devices, I must gently point out that the tone on this thread has been very enthusiastic but also extremely polite ...
