Arf! Arf!! Arf!!! 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Great stuff AVGURU--or should I now call you Mohammed, since your forthcoming voyage of spiritual enlightment to the mithical audio mountain? It looks like 711 and you are getting ready to have a load of fun! My only choice at this time is to part...

Why not bring the modified Denons to the dealer, in that case? 
Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice.
When is the modified Denon 5910 expected and will you 711Smilin get one, and from where: APL, Exemplar, or Underwood?

Pass labs X600
Armandido, the X350.5 is now already shipping. the Pass engineering team is now concentrating on X600.5. I have spoken to Pass Labs in the last 10 days. The X600.5 should start making music by mid December. It is likely that the new monoblocks wil...

AVGURU, I herewith chime synesthetically with 711smilin's praises of your very descriptive metaphores!Jokes asides, you describe the sound exactly the way I 'see' it, or in other words, the way I hear it in images. Hope you can borrow the X-01 thi... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
AVGURU and SMILIN, we seem to have determined that very few CDPs are superior to DV-50, except that: A. Esoteric X-01 is better than DV-50.B. The two modified Denon 2900 boxes are superior to DV-50. c. The APL Denon mod may be just slightly better...

Very Intriguing AVGURU! Do you have a feel on how the modified Denons may compare to the Esoteric X-01? What is the cost of these modified Denon? 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
AVGURU, your last post truly lifted my heart! My experience with the magical X-01 was like yours-- an unforgettable epiphany. The only thing I have found better than a pure Teac Esoteric X-01 is the X-01 augmented by a Shuniata Anaconda VX power c... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
AVguru, after you perform the test using stock chords, you may want to put specialty chords and conditioners back in place. There are two good reasons for this:1. Stock chords of Esoteric may not be the same as Denon chord.2. The two units may ben... 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
Longho68, the X600.5 will not be available until the first part of the new year. You won't be able to audition them until then. I do not know the efficiency of your Sony speakers, you I can't really comment on what kind of amp you may need. 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
Sigmund, it will be interesting to hear your impressions of your new X350.5 as you keep breaking it progressively in. 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
I'll be out of touch for 36 hours. Keep the discussion going in the meantime. Some dealers are already stocking X350.5. Someone should give these guys a buzz. 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
Today I spoke to Kent, rather than Peter. Peter was home with the flue. Kent said he spent some quality time a few weeks ago with X350.5. He indicated that X350.5 has the very best sound he has heard this far, and not by a small margin. According ...
