Esoteric K-03 or K-01
Hi Guido, Crossing threads here, Great to see someone who hears the K-01 as I have. There may be many great " deals" out there, that perform highly, but for taste, you can't beat the Esoterics for overall sound and flexibility, at not such a bad p...

Hey guys, Its a tough sell, the whole World is USB centric now. Its amazing how easy we are sold on bad things, look at mp3, its the number 1 selling codec in the world. Hi rez through the S/PDIF is so much better than USB, but looking at the mark...

Hi Guido, Great hearing from you, I was in Your area for a Super Bowl a few years back, and stopped into Antonne's to catch some tunes, wanted to see where Stevie Ray Vaughn got famous! Great time, listening to music live sure makes this hobby tou...

Hey Pharma, I see you have ranked the Esoteric DACs and Transports. After reading your prior posts, I would not have expected you to rank the D-02 & P-02 so highly in all your catagories. As a matter of fact, I did not think you were that fond...

I am located in South Eastern, Massachusetts, USA. Thats is some serious money for amps. Not that I'm not over budget already... I started with a 50k limit, and that hasn't gone so well. Anyway, I am always interested in improvement, but at this t...

Hey Hifi, Definately happy with the Baetis, great music reproduction! As for the output, the BNC is a leap in sound quality compared to the USB. Makes you wonder what all the fuss is about the USB connection, why is USB the interface of choice? Lo...

Hey G, How much does the quad box set up cost? Right know I'm dialing in the cabling and PCs, but amps may be an upgrade at some point! What are using for cables? 
New Esoteric P02 D02
Hi Pharma, Yes, I am happy with the sound overall, although there's always something I want to change. The D-02 sounds very good directly feeding the amps, but the C-02 in the chain makes everything sound much better. The C-02 is an excellent Prea...

The Baetis is a Hi End music computer, designed to do no other tasks than to collect music or files, and play them back using the best interface possible with a computer and audio/video system. I have ripped 100's of CDs and other media with no pr...

Zephyr, I have been hearing my rig come together nicely! The more time on these pieces the better they sound. You are right on, as I pass 200 hours the treble has become more and more natural, espiecally on CDs. There was a brightness to the sound...

I believe you are right on the money! I'm sure there is an upgrade in the technology and isolation can be a good thing, with the right cabling, but it seems more of an anwer to the DCS Vivaldi . Good listening what ever you end up doing!

Well, if you are going all out auditioning, you may need to listen to the new Esoteric Gradioso's.... Just a thought!

Zephyr, Awesome ! Ya cables and clocks.... That al get a more than a few fire up ! As for cables, I would like to stay away from making mistakes, to hard to get rid of! And the mark up is a sin ! By the way, what did you think of the Synergistic R...
