Esoteric X-01 Limited or Esoteric P-05/D-05 combo?


The question is simple - which one is the best? Unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to audition them where I live...

The P-05/D-05 should be superior but obviously the more costly option particularly considering the necessary cabling.
Buy X-01 D2 and you get most of the technical and sound qualities of P-03/D-03 combo. For me X-01 D2 was (and still is) much better sounding player that X-01 SE.
Well, I wouldn't go that far, but given that the X-01D2 and P-05/D-05 seem to be, by all accounts, extremely similar performance wise, the X-01D2 is the better value (if you can get past its aesthetics).
