Esoteric DV-60

Perhaps the "absolute digital polarity" or phase? Is there such an on/off setting available on the DV60?

Some one out there please help...What is the issue with the DV50 vs the DV60 I own both and my first impression is that the 50 KILLS the 60 in audio-(no BULL) It is 7db stronger on the volume control on my preamp, I turn my preamp to 8:00 and have to turn the 60 to 2:00 to get the same volume level. My dealer friend came over to my house and concurred that the 50 is MUCH better on the audio side. It's not just the volume level that makes th 50 better-It's everything i.e- soundstage, image, depth perception, ETC. The video is GREAT on the 60, but the 50 is really a lot better on the audio side. Does anybody have a answer? Thanks all. I have over 700 hrs on the DV60.

Thanks to all of you for your insights and contributions. I ended up upgrading from the DV-50S to the UX-3 SE. I really did not see myself into the multichannel SACD, DVD-Audio or redbook modality. Perhaps one day I'll mod the UX-3 SE but I'll get used to it's sound first with my equipment, speakers, and room design. Thanks. Dave

Congrats Dave and best of luck. Please do let us know how you like the UX-1 Se as it breaks in. Be patient with it. The 100 or so hrs of breakin suggested by TEAC are for the birds. Guido

Actually, it's a UX-3 SE. I'd have to put my 3 yr old on eBay (assuming someone would buy him) to afford the UX-1 limited edition.
