| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? My specific ratings were DV50 (48) Modright (47) APL (47). Since my sister doesn't post, her preference was the APL, DV50, and Modright in that order. I don't know her exact scores, but they were as close as all the others. FYI, my sister has been... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Id like to thank Brian again for hosting this event. I think everyone will agree on at least one thing - we had a lot of fun doing this. From a personal perspective, I accomplished the two things I had hoped for 1) make new friends, 2) make a goo... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Aplhifi, Thanks for the clarification. I was aware of the possibility to install two Superclocks and opted to hear the unit with one modification at a time. I stand by my observation that the single clock upgrade makes a pretty nice improvement. C... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Guidocorona, The report you point to does say the FIR circuit is the default in the X-01 and UX-1. They are talking about the RDOT filter not being needed in the new units due to the VRDS mechanism. In think I'm reading it right. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? My understanding was that the Superclock 3 has a greater effect on the FIR filter which upsamples to 352.8khz. There are two other filter settings on the DV-50, RDOT @ 705.60khz and RDOT + FIR operating at 1411.2khz. These are all selected via a s... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Just an idea....Should the shootout be between the one-box players with the overall winner competing against one of the Transport/DAC's? | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I will also bring some fine Ohio Pinot Grigio. The islands in Lake Erie have consistently produced some of the finest wine grapes in the world. The weather is considered perfect because of the lake controlled temperature. There is a winery in Sand... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I'm quite surprised about the over-reaction regarding my beer comment. I wouldn't drive five hours just to attend a drunken party. I also think that distance I'm coming shows my committment to the hobby. On the other hand, I would hope this is a c... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? The DV-50 (Superclock 3) is now fully burned -in and ready for battle. I'm anxious to attend the shootout. How will the power cord and isolation issues be handled? I asume we bring our favorite cords, but isolation can also change the outcome. Any... | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player The player has past the 220 hour point and has not gone through any other changes. It is, as expected, just slightly better than at 50 hours. VERY Impressive. Doug did a great job on the install, and has many other options in mind. Power supply mo... | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player Thanks for your response. I now understand better where you are coming from. I apologize for the tone of the post, which was somewhat gruff in nature.The player is now passing the 50 hour point. I listened a little today, and everything is still r... | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player I knew I should have been more careful in my quick assessment of the X-01 and DV-50. I made this assumption based on the few reviews that have been written on the new Esoteric’s. I also heard from more than one person who made the comparison in-st... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? If there's beer, I'm coming. Seriously, I will drive the 5 hours from Sandusky, OH and bring the modified DV-50. Figure out a final date and post.Tom Roberts | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player Doug knows his craft. He can make many recommendations for you to choose from and he knows the Sony well. Give him a call and you can go to his place to discuss your unit.Recommended. | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player Now passing into the 21st hour. I put the XLO burn-in CD in overnight, repeating track 9. Due to modifications on the Superclock made by Doug, this may not need the 200 hour break-in as stated by Audiocom. Doug states that the Blackgate caps that ... |
