Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please

Henryhk, the Esoteric D5 would be great with other sources as well, I think Tboooe is using it for another source as well.

However you would not be able to gain the full benefits of a full Esoteric combo: Word clock lock - which reduces jitter and the dual XLR/iLink inputs.

cmk, my remote does not have the input buttons. I wonder why? Do you know the model # of the remote you have?

henryhk, I am very happy using my D5 with my Sonos digital music server. Let me know if you have any questions.

Tbooe...exactly what I am lloking for. Ine one of my systems which serves for home theatre as well I aminly use a music server for music: Sooloos. Right now I have it feeding a Mcintosh pre-pro and using the DA stage in the pre pro...and prety sureI can do better thanthat (helps that the Mcintosh pre-pro allows one to by pass everything and use it as 2 channel preamp and a decent one at that). In my other system I have a EMM Labs set up and love it but wqas wondering how th Esoteric D5 would do in this set up. The Sooloos, unfortunately, only has coaxial single end digital outout.....

Good point cmk. I think my remote is the one for the P3. I am still not sure why it would not have an input select option though. One thing that bothers me is that when I do switch from cd to my digital music source, I have to turn off the P3 or else the word clock missing error will blink. Minor annoyance.

Henryhk, the Sooloos looks great! The interface is nice and big. For the price, I really like my Sonos but it does require some hardware while the the Sooloos is a complete package. Very nice!
