Esoteric K-03X VS Mcintosh D1100
1) Esoteric K-03X all the way, don't trust Mcintosh digital
2) Mcintosh D1100 all the way, has more digital inputs 3) Esoteric K-03X because I would miss having a transport 4) I would wait for a MQA DAC, neither Last edited by jdandy; 05-09-2017 at 10:01 PM. |

David.......My editing tools don't provide a way to create a poll from a posted thread. You can delete this thread and try again. Go to the bottom and check the box to create a poll and assign how many questions you want to post (maximum is 10). The other option is to just let this thread move forward and see what comments get made.

Neither are available to me for demo. My next move is most likely the Resonessence Invicta Mirus Pro I don't spin the shiny discs anymore.

I'm also keeping an eye on the D1100 for next year in another room. This other room is all Mac and I'd like to keep it that way if possible.

I'm rather remote so my history of experience is limited to the Rega DAC, Ayre QB-9, QB-9 DSD, Codex, Aurelic Vega, MSB Analog and the Mirus Pro outside of integrated DACs.
My at home Mirus Pro demo was allot goose bumps and major toe and hand tapping. |

Reviewing your 2 channel system it seems the D1100 is running through a c2300. I might suggest upgrading the C2300 to a C1100 which will likely make a bigger difference than the Esoteric. It will also improve your vinyl.
I am not that sold on MQA and am taking a wait and see approach. |
