Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners

I have a Esoteric UX-3 Universal player that went for around 8,500.00. Presently I am using a MIT AVT 1 interconnect from the player to my preamp. I really love the sound of the system as is, but I am wondering if I am really hearing all the player has to offer by using a 200.00 cable on an 8,500.00 component. Other than using the Esoteric branded cables which are waaaay too expensive, what are other Esoteric owners using? Do I really need to spend a lot of money to get a good match, as I want to keep the price reasonable.

Thank You for the Black Cat suggestion. I seem to recall your owning an Esoteric player? Which model?

 

Happy Listening!

@jafant,

I forgot to mention in our correspondence that I am now using Acrolink cables on my Esoteric player.  I use a pair of Acrolink stereo interconnects, an Acrolink digital cable and Acrolink power cord. It made a huge and worthwhile difference and buying second hand didn’t hurt the wallet that bad.

@jafant  I own a Esoteric DV60. More than impressed with the SQ of this model. I use the DV60 for audio only, where it shines on Redbook or SACD playback.
