Esoteric UX 3 Universal Player

Tried it in my system and found it to be very good. I felt it had excellent detail (in keeping with the brand), great soundstage and very clean deep and detailed bass. It was musically engaging and had just enough warmth for my taste. I think it is similar to the X03 which is a wonderful player. All CD players can give trouble (more than other audio components) but Esoteric is amongst the most reliable, in my opinion.

Have it for 3 years and not going to upgrade - great player. I use it for audio only.

Did you have to change any of the audio settings in the set up menu or did you leave everything at factory defaault? I will be using this player for audio playback only as well. I am picking it up on Saturday.
