Happy New Year, Mike! Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate taking the time for such a detailed answer, very useful indeed! Keep up the good work, hope for a great 2022!
Mike I really enjoy your channel. I would be interested in getting your observations and comparisons between the Luxman d-10x and Esoteric 03xd SACD players since they are in similar price range. Love your store!
Thanks. We love both, but I’m really smitten with the sound and look of the K-03XD. Some prefer the Luxman classic styling. Others like me, love the more modern look of the K-03XD. Hard to go wrong with either.
The Weiss 501 MkII was underwhelming. Poor construction, average performance and massively overpriced. It's really a £2K DAC. Super disappointed with it.
@@johnratcliffe6438 yeah. I'm in the entriest of entry level right now so can't have an opinion. But I've been hearing insane level of praise for them. So had me question you just out of curiosity. Hope you get a better dac soon. And congrats on being able to afford stuff lol. 😂 What's your rest of the setup if you don't mind me asking?
You probably don’t have the right components to go with it. I just had mine upgraded and it sounds wonderful, the best digital setup me and my friends ever heard.The synergy is magical with my Shindo components and Fleetwood Deville SQ speakers. I use the Aqua LinQ transporter with a SR Ethernet switch.👍🏻

Excellent, well balanced compare. In fact I didn’t realise Esoteric had moved to making their own discrete DAC chip.
More Esoteric reviews please! Thanks.
For sure! Thank you!
Happy owner of both, one for loudspeakers; one for headphone system😊
Nice!
which one do you think is better for a stereo system?

Mike, what is your opinion - esoteric n 05 xd or auralic vega2.1 or aurender a15?
Happy to help, but I hope you buy from us. N-05XD! The filters are awesome on it and it sounds great.
None of them have HDMI in :(
For Weiss DAC 502mk2 has 4ch setup? and is that available to order?
Why do they need HDMI in?
@@johnratcliffe6438 For ARC, computer audio and possibly for multichannel support
No talk about sound of either besides "detailex"
Detailed, transparent, little warmth and lack of coloration is what I heard.

Really? That's an interesting opinion. 1st negative opinion I've seen lately. Best wishes on your audio setup
@@prabinpaudel5572 Just being honest.
