Esoteric used or new?


Hi Everyone,


looking to upgrade my DAC, as some have said my NAD is not good enough, I have an opportunity to purchase a used Esoteric D02 for about $7500 or a new D05x for $13K with a discount if I am serious. My question is, the D02 was and still is a great piece but is the newer technology better even with a lower model. Maybe D02 is too good for my system?My room is open concept with glass windows down one side so not ideal room and no room treatments other than floor rug and furniture, as it is my living room. An insight would be appreciated and no I do get an opportunity to demo. I stream music

JC1, NADM51, Aurender N10, BW803D, REL Stadium 3, Running Springs Dimitri, Shunyata Hydra 4, Kubala Emotions all around with Elation for Aurender to NAD

thanks Greg

Try and listen to the new Bricasti M3 DAC. Heard it @ Axpona this year and though it pretty amazing especially compared to it's bigger brother the M1
