Btwy, The new Grandioso P1/D1 is out in Japan probably to compete with dCs Vivaldi. The transport is using the exact same transport mech. as the p02. It has more advanced upsampling that is capable of true DXD 32 bit 352khz versus the p02's 24 bit...

To Colekat:It is worth using G0rb or G01 clock with p02/d02.To Eelii08:After comparing p01vuk with p02 I have decided to switch to p02. Even tough it was lacking ultimate bass and laidback nature of the p01, p02 was more open, clear and had a bigg...

There is an important difference between the G0rb and G01. They are both using the same rubidium clock unit inside, but the rest is different. G01 is a Master clock (22mhz, etc.) replacing the master clock signal in dac, and a Word (44.1 khz, etc)... 
Wadia S7i vs Esoteric K-01/K-03 vs MSB
Also, consider Esoteric P02/D02 that does 352k/384k 8x upsampling (like DXD), DSD and a new algorithm 35 bit D/A conversion for regular CDs.I did not compare it with MSB. It is better than Accuphase top of the line DP900/DC901.

At last I compared transports as well. I did the test without upsampling by using d02 dac and with short delay filter 1, clock was G0rb.P02 sounded more open, vocals breathed outside the speakers more and overall there was slightly more detail wit...

Hi,I am not familiar with Legacy speakers. I read the review in Absolute Sound. It is a lot speaker for 9k. I recommend some other speakers to audition. From Focal 1038be (it is also a lot of speaker for 9k), From Magico S5, From Dali Epicon 8(ano... 
Question to Esoteric Master clock owners
Hi Eelii,Is it G01 or G0rb ? They are different in sampling freq., and initial speed of the clock. I believe it shouldnt matter. I connected both at A and turned off others and dimmed the unit. I can try to connect transport to A and dac to B.

Hi Zephyr,Very good system. What are the speakers ? 
New Esoteric P02 D02
Hi Zephyr,You're welcome. What is the rest of the system ? 
New Esoteric P02 D02
Hi Zephyr,Good decision. You can upgrade your transport later. You can also transfer all your cds (as for the sacds some people use a special program on sony ps3 and transfer it) to lossless flac files and use your usb on D02.

Hi Eelii,I use terminal A and and turn off terminals B and C. I didnt try the other option. I cant use 100k universal option with D-02. Also when I am using sacds with d02 sometimes the clock doesnt lock or takes longer to lock in.When this happen... 
New Esoteric P02 D02
Hi Eelii ,It is G0rb. The clock makes a big difference with both converters.I use DA6300 as an interconnect and 8n-a2800 as AES.I tried the opposite configuration but 8n-a2800 was less resolute and slightly warmer as an interconnect.I prefer filte...
