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.

I am frequently suprised by previously hidden details in songs,many I have been listening to for decades. This is the Esoteric gift that keeps giving.
CONGRATULATIONS, Now you can enjoy the full magic of your music. |

Made some upgrades. Just moved in the Pass Labs x260.8. All I can say is WOW. Not even broken in and I’m already loving them.

Derek, congrats on the 260.8's, as an owner myself I can say for certainty that you're set for a long time !
Now get those speakers moved out some or gear moved back. It's never good for the soundstage for anything in front of and between your speakers. |

Yea, the room this is in is small, so placement options are limited. The 1 pic is taken from almost the back wall. I will try moving the forward to see what impact it makes.
