Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
1988 Magnavox boombox. I got it as an Xmas present along with Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles cd. This cdp lasted up until my junior year in college when I inadvertently backed my car over it after a long day drinking at the beach. There are gre... 
The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ?
Eva Cassidy, "American Tune"HEM, "Funnel Cloud" 
Your First Concert was.....
The Alarm, 1985 at Irvine Meadows. To this day, I think they are one of the best "conscious rock" bands of all time. Too bad, U2 came out at the same time or else The Alarm would have enjoyed more commercial success.

CMK, for my connection between the P3 and D5 I do use the dual XLR. I was referring to my connection between my digital music source and the D5. What cables are you using? 
Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please
CMK, I have not tried all the different options but based my decision to use the RCA instead of the toslink on things I read. There are also more choices in terms of cables to use with the RCA.

Bar, I chose the D5 for two reasons, the 32 bit dac and the fact that it can upsample which I wanted for my digital music. I did get a chance to compare the P3D5 and P3D3. As you said, they are so close. To be frank, at these performance levels, t...

cmk, congrats on the P5D5. I agree with a lot of your sentiments regarding its dynamics, separation, and air. Question about using PLL2. Arent you slaving your P5 to the D5's clock? If so I would suggest you try this.arbuckle, you can have multipl...

It would interesting if you could compare the P5 with the P3 using the same D5 dac.I agree that cables make a difference. I am in the process of changing out power cords. I have found some that helps to improve the sounstage, dynamics, and detail....

cmk, going up the one box players I heard better separation of instruments, more detail, and tighter bass. Of course the improvements are subtle. I am not sure if separates has that much advantage over a well designed one box player. Remember, now...

Yada, here is the link:http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/akm/en/product/ak4397/ak4397.htmlCmk, the reason why I think the x03se and xo1ltd is the sweet spot comes down to price vs performance. You will be paying a lot to get only a bit more performance...

I have the Esoteric P3 and D5 combo and I used to own the X03se. I thought about getting the P5 but decided against it after finding out it uses an inferior transport to what is currently in the P3. It is my opinion that the transport plays a sign...
