| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? To All:The information that Alex revealed about the master clock is exactly the type of information audiophiles need to know and more importantly understand.

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? MGottlieb,Thnaks. When I listen to the UX1 tomorrow I will bring a couple of DVD-A discs to see if its performance is on par with my DV 50.

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Aldavis,Spoke to Teac in California this morning. The two units you mentioned will not be introduced in the U.S. for at least two years. Strictly made for the Japanese and European market. Too bad as the price points were very attractive. I believ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Mgottlieb,I forgot to ask you what you thought of the multi-channel performance of the X01 (in SACD) vs the two channel SACD performance?

| Sony Legacy SACD Players - SCD-1, 777ES, XA-777ES Hey Guys,You are right that the SCD-1 holds it value very well. It is also a very good transport (great build quality) and that's what it does best. None of the Sony players are great redbook (cd) players...very average as they are all voiced to b... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? The Quest for the Best Continues!You all will be happy to know that my local Esoteric dealer has informed me he SHOULD HAVE the UX1 in house by tomorrow evening.

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? MGottlieb,Jactoy's last point is quite interesting and one I never thought to ask you myself.

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Larryi,Thanks for the referral. I think I will look into the Audionote equipment as I've never heard it but have heard good things about it. Do you have a website address where I can start my journey and find a local dealer? AVGURU | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? DBLD,Continue to enjoy your DV 50S! It is a truly great player. And now with the new and improved video dac the video is on par with the high end Arcams (which I still believe are the best dvd players on the market sans the Ayre DX-7). Additonally... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Fellow Audiophiles:I am looking to wrap up my search for the ultimate, most musical cdp or universal in the next three weeks.

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Due to a hectic work schedule and family committments I couldn't keep up my end of the deal to pick up the X01 on behalf of 711 Smillin. Sorry guys as 711 went though all the time and trouble to purchase the unit. We were to have a long and glorio... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Bearman3,Thanks for your response. My listening session with the 3910 was similar to yours with the 2900...only the sonic differences were of a greater magnitude. I really just wanted to compare notes and make sure what I am hearing is what others... |
