Adding Esoteric G-03X Clock to X03-SE cd player

Roor,

The improvements will be very significant.Master clocks are one of the most underutilised part in Digital playback.In case of Esoteric,any Esoteric SACD player ,you should not buy the player without the clock.

Having heard almost every Esoteric cd player for hundreds (and some thousands) of hours, this is unequivocally one of the dumbest posts you'll read in the forums.

IMO, I agree with Audiofel..If your dissatisfied with the 03SE and what your hearing then I suggest looking at all the other components in your system first.

My personal listening experience on the TEAC line is largely limited to Esoteric single box X-01 Limited, X-01 D2, and P-03/D-03 combo players. Heard these players by themselves and with G-03 G-0S, and some 3rd party clocks. Clocks appeared to have significant audible benefits on the combo players, but negligible effect on the X-01 single box units if at all.

It has been suggested that this might be systemic, at least on Esoteric players.... Clocks may not be effective on Esoteric Single box unit in general... but I have no proof of this statement. Bill Feil has much more experience than I do on the whole Esoteric line, and perhaps can shed some light on the admittedly murky clocky issue.

Guido,
The only comment I'll make in this thread is it's ridiculous for somebody with extremely limited Esoteric experience to suggest that a cd player should not be purchased without an external clock.

Actually it's not ridiculous.

It's ignorant.
