I will answer your questions when I have more time but please let me correct you that I did not dump Kubala to become a STEALTH dealer . It so happens that I demoed a Sextet AES snd was so impressed that I demoed a V.16 UNI pc and V16 dream sw then bought them and dumped all my Kubala within two weeks on gon to fund wiring my system with STEALTH. Becoming a STEALTH dealer was purely something that sprouted up. I don't need a second job and certainly don't need a second income ESPECIALLY in the doggy dog world of retail high end audio. It was in no way a business decision but a decision based on my excitement about the product, the product's build design and science. I don't build the cables nor am I the engineer but I will inquire with the lead engineer at STEALTh and get back to you.
Esoteric P02X, D02X (and C02X), any direct listening impressions are appreciated....
I'd appreciate any direct experience from those who have done serious listening to the new Esoteric P02X and D02X transport and DAC.
Any comparisons to the prior 02 (non-X) transport and DAC would be appreciated as would listening impressions in general and against other high-end units, including but not limited to the Esoteric P1/D1, K-01X, EMMLabs, etc....
Primary reason the move from the 02 to 02X level is being considered is the native DSD streaming input on USB to the D-02X (D-02 is limited to PCM at high up-sampled rates) and the possibly attractive nature of the ES-LINK4 protocol and connection type between P02X and D02X, over and above what ES-LINK3 already provides between P02 and D02.
Thank you!
