So I have been working to upgrade the digital capabilities of my system. Ivan was able to get me a great deal on a new Esoteric K-05xs. All I can say is this thing is amazing. Out of the box I played Genesis – Invisible Touch in SACD format. I heard sounds that I never picked up before. During Tonigh, Tonigh,Tonigh I actually thought there was some form of phone or alarm ringing upstairs, so I went looking for the sound. After leaving my room it was gone. I come to find out when I replayed the song again, that it was in the music. I have listened to this track a number of times and never had that experience. The sound stage and resolution is amazing and it’s not even broken in. I can’t be more pleased w the purchase. Now I have to determine if I keep the MB50 for streaming or use the Mini Mac w the Esoteric.
