Esoteric SA-50???


Hello,

Has anyone heard the New SA-50?
How are the Digital Inputs(usb)?

Thanks

Montejay,

Im leaning towards the X-05.The VRDS-VMK-5 transport
is suppose to be much better than the VSOP.Although
it would be nice to have the digital inputs:)
Alpha3,I feel your pain!Esoteric seems to give with one hand and take away with the other.As I mentioned however,I like the over sound of every one I heard, so you'll enjoy what you settle on.My wish was for Esoteric to build a single box,VRDS-NEO transport,32 bit dac with digital inputs around $5000.I can almost hear it now........

I am a dealer, fairly new however, for Esoteric. Agreed the line up is a little confusing. The X-05 and the X-3 would be my choices. I am going to get a little more info on the new SA-50 next week, after the show in Munich. Will let you know.
Alpha3, I'm at the Munich show and Esoteric has the new SA-50 on display. They are using Avantgarde Duo's with the Bass Module, I thought the sound was outstanding. The are playing the same musio in Vinyl and CD. And the CD is as smooth as the CD.
