Very Gracious of you. This discussion has me really thinking now. I just don't want to invest in a transport, but I may have no choice. It looks like Esoteric has released three items in the last few months. Wonder if the D05 is due for a refresh too? The current one doesn't have USB input.

The D-05 must surely be on its last legs I'd concur. But that's what I mean by saying you should be able to get a very sharp price on a new unit.

Bryan - I like the idea of a really good DAC and a Mac/PC. If you have a lot of SACD's, you can always just get an Oppo for that. What I'm seeing is more and more recordings coming out in High Res (HDTracks, etc.) Like you, I don't spin CD's anymore. I rip them to Apple Lossless and store them away for safe keeping. Grab the iPad, launch remote and listen!
I do recommend a good USB cable between your DAC and MAC/PC. I use the WW Platinum USB cable. It sounds great. |

Mike.......It will be a long, long time before hi-res download catalogs rival CD, XRCD, HDCD, and SACD disc and vinyl availability. The recording industry as a whole still does not support hi-res downloads, certainly not to the degree necessary to have a robust catalog of all genres and artist's music available for download. They are still worried about the ease of file sharing and lost revenue.
