esoteric x05 vs sa50


Anyone compared the two? I read that SA50 has digital in so that will be pretty future proof, but is it on the same league as x05?

Esoteric has the best transports in the market. I´m not sure that some "miracle footers" will make a big difference if all. That`s so absurd hype story that it`s even shame to read it.
I am glad someone beat me to it. When I saw that comment I almost fell out of my chair :-) I hate being the first one to flame someone... I guess we all do hear things differently.
Please, do not attack Joeyboynj - he just reported that: " Synergistic told me .." this bulls...t. So, its the company trying to sell their stuff but very unartfully -to put it charitably.

Regarding the footers: I listen to APL HiFi(Alex Peychev) NWO-S1 SACD/CD Player which is based on Esoteric SA-50 transport and may be 10% of its electronics. Next, I heard it with StillPoints "Component Stands" and my jaws dropped. I don;t know percentage of improvment but this rather expensive ($990) stuff worth the money.

Finally, to whoever feel that Esoteric transports (VRDS and VOSR) are immune to vibration - no, sorry; may be less then others but certainly not immune.

Good Luck

Joeyboynj wasn't attacked IMO.

Speaking only for myself, I was simply laughing at the situation.

Keep in mind his source is the same company selling quantum tunneling, universal speaker cells, carbon resonator cups, and other science fiction nonsense to a very naive and receptive group of buyers.
MIG or not, I don't know...but if you only add the 'cute little clock' in the mix...
