Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE

Dv-60 same Pioneer drive as dv50

I heard that the DV-60 drive is now Esoteric based vs. the Pioneer drive of the DV-50. Have I heard wrong?

Cheers,
John

According to my technical service contact at Esoteric the transport in the DV-60 is indeed made by them; I spoke with them a few hours ago today. The Pioneer info posted here is erroneous.

With all due respect, I am not interested in debating the DV-50S and 60 differences. Can we comment on the UX-3 SE firstly and then compare to the range of products from Esoteric. Thanks kindly for your generous time in posting.

Good point Canucks0 
, sorry for that.

I like to post this correction:

The Dv-60 uses Teac's horizontal sled and vertical optical assembly. A plus over the Dv-50. Unlike the Pioneer drive, the control boards are not sandwiched under the drive assembly. They are laid out cleanly, in an uncongested manner. Again, Inductor based ground decoupling is heavily employed, showing a well designed control board. Much more Robust engineered, over the Pioneer dive assembly design. In regards to the Dv-60 power board, despite being a smaller footprint over the Dv-60, as above, inductor based filtration, is used with a well designed power board, over the Dv-50.

Again sorry for the mix-up regarding drive info.

Regard,
Anthony
