Esoteric DV60


As I understand it, 5.1 audio is available only from the five analog RCA outputs, is that true?  I assume the reason the DV60s have depreciated so heavily is because they offer neither Blu-ray nor lossless codecs, and not because they're failure prone.

I can't speak to the SQ of the DV60, but; still have the DV50S set up for 5.1 Analog out into a Classe SSP800. The playback of SACD's is superb. All of my 2 Channel listening is with the K-03. Would assume the DV60 would be a step up from the DV50S.

Actually, the word is the DV60 is actually inferior to the DV50s, as it's power supply, etc. was cheapened.
Esoteric built the DV and SA series as a cheaper alternative to the more costly machines further up the product chain.
To bump this thread, I own a DV60, for listening to music it is absolutely incredible. The Redbook section easily beat a friends Marantz SA11 S2 in an AB. The DV60 is getting a raw deal on this thread, particularly when it comes to music production. I have also AB’ed it against an older DV50, the DV60 was far superior sounding to my ears.
