New Esoteric P02 D02

Hello,

Seems like there is a new set up separates from Esoteric. The P02 D02. Hven't seen any info out there at all, but it is for sale already at retailers. Not a substitute of the P03 D03 as expected, that are still selling as well, but a new category in between de 01s and 03s. DACs and inputs seem like an upgrade of the K01.

Anyone has any info, or heard of this? You can read about it at Esoteric parent company home page (in Japan but in English).

Price in Europe is 3.000 Euros higher than the 03s per unit (so +6000 EUros higher in total)

Any feedback, info news?

Thanks
Eli

Yes it is. Big difference for the good in all aspects. Wrote about it back in the post.

Also, just noticed. There is a big difference in reproduced sound depending on how the xlr gain is configured in the D02 if you are using preamp. 0db which is factory default or +6db.

Hi Eelii08,

It is interesting that you mentioned about the xlr configuration. I find +6 dB setting in my system with a JR Capri S2 preamp driving the K -01 player better in every way. Is this your experience too for the combo?

Hi all. Does anybody used power conditioners with their esoteric Black Noise filters with good results but dealer warned me on power fluctuations problems since esoteric doesnt have AC fuse inside, suggest me to use ps audio products for AC protection and voltage stability.

Hi eelii008, I made the move on the G-01 clock, after reading your thread on the clock, I'm like a kid on on Christmas morning, can't wait. I have the Xlr out at 0db, what advantage did you notice with the output at 6db. I am using the Esoteric C-02 as my pre, and find the 0db output is better for low level listening. What are you current IC's and Clock cables, and how are connected into your clock. thanks for any help, great thread! Tom.
