How tall do you like your images?
Iam too dumb, so I got my speakers built by a gentleman who was well regarded for his speaker builds. It was clearly conveyed that my room was small at 11 x 16.5 feet. And that it will be a near field setup with an equilateral triangle of 8.5 ft w...

@jafant Thanks for your kind words sir :)

Hi @jafant  Unfortunately I dont have anything from Accuphase or CJ. My preamp is a passive from MFA, and my main amps are LM 503PA from Line magnetic. The LM amps helps smoothen things out, and with the combination of the passive pre preserves e...

Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200
I was sitting on the fence for a really long time when it came to digital streamers. I must have read all similar threads on the Gon a zillion times. I finally pulled the plug on a Lumin U1X. I was previously using a Cambridge audio Azur 851N as a...

@doboree Hearty congratulations on your new acquisition :) Bet it sounds fantastic :)  
Aurender A15 or N200 with Mac C2700
@lewl28    Fondly hope you are still enjoying your N-05XD. Iam interested in one, but cant find much in way of reviews. So Iam picking forum members heads for some inputs and listening impressions. Especially any comparisons with other dacs they...

Thanks a ton for sharing your impressions @txenakis . Much appreciated sir. Ive been considering the N-05XD for some time now. The other two contendors are the Holo May KTE and the T+A Dac200. There is no dealer for any of them where I live. So it...

Esoteric N-05XD opinions please
Hi @doboree The N-05 was launched sometime in 2015 if my memory serves me right. Today's dac's are almost a few decades, if not a generation ahead in technical advancements. Thus, the N-05 XD should be improvement over the older N-05 by a conside...

Esoteric N-05XD opinions please
Thanks again @thyname I would prefer to stay within the Esoteric line to the extent possible. Ive read great things about the N-01XD, but sadly cant stretch to it. And if the N-05XD has not fallen far off the tree, then i can buy it blind. The on... 
Esoteric N-05XD opinions please
Hi @thyname Yeah mine is a very old K-01. And not even the earlier x version. I still think it works great as a  transport. And i was feeding it to a AMR dp-777 which worked very well. And to be honest, the K-01, despite its aged dac section stil...

Hi @txenakis Congrats on the N-05XD. I've been considering one for some time. Cybershaft OP21A would be a great choice, as claimed by some esoteric owners. Albeit with a long wait period after placing an order, and is expensive too. I also saw so...
