the asking price seems reasonable.
are these units outdated? this is not to ask if they are "good" anymore.
but with the vast improvements over the last decade do these devices compete with similarly priced items today?
( i guess the used price range is a couple or so thousand )
thanks for your time

Go for it .... Esoteric X-03se is an excellent CD player and a sensational SACD player. The Esoteric DACs from the X series sound great. I had the X-01/D2 for a couple of years and it was a great sounding player... and it was 5.1 channel, so I could listen to multi channel SACDs which sounded great on it. If the X-03 does 5.1 go for it for sure ! At a couple grand you can't go wrong sound wise, feature wise it may not measure up !
