| DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01 Try the P-01 VU with the new Grandioso DAC and G0RB. I recommend Tara Labs Evolution Zero interconnects. It simply sounds phenomenal and much better than dCS Vivaldi or Accuphase 901/900.Since the older d01 vu doesnt do pure dsd, you will hear a b... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 I am waiting to hear the new Esoteric D1 Grandioso converter that is replacing d01vuk. I will compare it to d02, d03 and I will try to hear dCS Puccini one more time. D02 still sounds a bit forward and dry for my taste. According to some European ... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 It hasnt been broken in yet with just an hour, and it sounded less noisy, eliminated the least bit of digital haze from DACs made vocals better, made the music flowing effortlessly as a whole. What can I say, it is a steal for this price. The only... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 I agree it made the sound of both D02 and D03 dacs more refined, smooth and lowered the noise plus it is just under $1K. I recommend at least hearing it. They have also Alpha HC for amplifiers and conditioners, Alpha Analog for pre and turntables.... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 As for the power cords, or pcs I didnt hear 9500 yet. But the new Shunyata Zitron Digital alpha sounded much better than 7300 in terms of soundstage, openness, noise, etc. I am considering selling my 7300 now. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 6300s are great when used as aes/ebu. There are better interconnects than 6300. They are not the most refined, and they can be interpreted as bright sometimes since they are really extended as an interconnect. I prefer Tara 0.8, or the new more ex... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hi Guido,Thank you for excellent info. Looks like there will be more high end brands adopting SMPS to be used with conventional amp. stages. The SMPS upgraded 700 delivers 600w in 8ohms, and 1200w in 4 ohms continuously versus the regular 700 that... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Guido,I know this forum is not about the Rowland and amplifiers, but how does 625 sound compared to the previous Rowland amps with conventional power supply ? I am asking because it is using Switching Mode Power Supply and Soulution has an upgr... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Eli, Thanks Eli. The word dark is misleading perhaps, because it makes you think the top end. What I mean it makes the mid rather flat and a bit shelved down compared to bass. So, as if the mid a bit in the dark.I compared with Furutech PC and ... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Eli,How is the mid band with 9500 compared to other cables you tried or stock cables ? The 7300 I used is great on bass but darkened and flattened the mid band. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Colekat:Ask for exhibit stock from your dealer. You can get a very good deal. I would go for the 9500 if it is available as exhibit stock. I would do the dac, transport then the clock. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Eli,Thanks. I will try to find it. I will also check for the exhibit stock cables that they use at CES, or other shows. Sometimes they sell it for the half price, and they are basically used for a few days.I am also waiting for the new p1/d1. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Tony,If you like the sound of the older Esoteric gear than I would recommend using p01vuk which sounds better and complements better d01 than p03 you own. They are still one of the best in the world and they have very well proven sonics. As you... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hi Tony,The new p02/d02 has a slightly different sound signature than p01vuk/d01 I compared with. I cant comment on full vuk upgrade since the d01 I compared with was a well broken in d01 store demo piece from Spearit Sound without the vuk upgrade... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 To Eli:My name is Emre. Thank you for the 6300 mk2 and 6300 comparison. I am curious about aes/ebu performance as well.I was considering 9500 for some time. Some people made comments on 9300 and how revealing it was. Also they were saying that it ... |
