just checked the player no inputs outputs only
so you have two options
1: dac and streamer
2: streaming dac: an lumin x1 will exceed the sound qualiy of an esoteric cd player
we were esoteric dealers a properly set up x1 is neerly impossible to beat
in our shop it takes an outlay of 25k to 50k to actually better the x1
we have a vast collection of dacs streamers and servers
the node idea is a poor idea as it wont show you the potantial of streaming
the node sounds decent but it doesnt possess the same kind of sound as your esoteric does, a bricasti m3 plus 432Evo server will sound as good or better
the lumin x1 will better it
We have swithed over entirely over to treaming because when it is done right you can get the ease of instant playback, with better then cd performance
