D-02X in the house!
Got my D-02X in tonight and right out of the box I am completely at a loss for words describing how good this Dac is. I had an EMM Labs DA2 then went to the new K-01XS and thought that while very close I personally liked the way the Esoteric sounded. Enter the D-02X ... it’s the best sounding Dac I’ve ever had in my system by a very long shot. If you haven’t listened to this unit and are considering anything in its price range you should definitely take a listen. I’ll give it a good review once I’ve had a chance to listen more in depth. This will end my Dac quest I’ve been on the past two years!
Ivan told me it would be no small upgrade to my K-01XS which I’m using as a transport at this point. That was a huge understatement for sure. Big thanks good sir for helping me get the best sound at home I’ve ever had. Perfect transaction as usual! I’ll add the P-02X probably this spring then offer up the k-01xs for a great price. More to come ... George |

Thanks Gary! I haven’t been this happy with a digital product since waaay back in the day when I first fired up my California Audio Labs Aria MkIII. That of course wouldn’t compete with anything today but back in the 80s that thing did magic ... and so does the D-02X!

Great job George
Glad they found the missing package. Cannot wait to hear the beast that beat the DA2 Ed

Question about Esoteric Dacs
Do any of the current Esoteric Dacs decode SACD? I am writing this in response to the D-02X unit that is being used with an Esoteric player.
