| Esoteric N-05XD opinions please I presently use, I would think any 5k dac will be a big improvement on my current gear. Mike @wrxsti : I agree with this. You will just to figure out which DAC. You are most certainly in the right path with the N-05xd, but of course, there are ... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @big_greg : Spot on! | |
| Esoteric N-05XD opinions please The new(er) XD series have a completely different DAC architecture compared to the previous series. You mentioned K-01, but is it the K-01 (period)? As far as I know, after the K-01, it was the "x" generation, the K-01x, then the generation of K-0... | |
| MSB DAC's Popularity fleetowner123 7 posts 12-24-2022 at 04:00pm What is meant by internal rendering when it comes to a Dac? The “rendering” is an internal streaming module. A streamer built in the DAC. Think of it as a network bridge, a streamer (fed by Et... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? I have nothing to add to what @ghdprentice so eloquently and politely wrote. As with everything in life, there is no free lunch | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? Like sometimes in the past, when some people saying all DACs sound the same, or mentioning DAC “chips”, I would like to quote the late Charlie Hansen of Ayre: ——— The thing that I see over and over and over in this thread is an irrational bel... | |

| Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD @bossa received. But fyi Audiogon filters and strictly forbids sharing any contact information. I replied to you / your PM | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now Perhaps I am missing something here. What could a reviewer tell someone that exceeds what they can hear on their own? Simple: 1) the reviewers often simply omit the “compared to what?” Part 2) Unless you fully trust the reviewer, you would n... | |
| Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD @bossa : may I humbly chime in and say you are confusing “server” and “streamer” terms? You will need to realize that playing your 8tb in local music files you have IS streaming. Not necessarily from a streaming service like Qobuz or Tidal. Access... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now I want to avoid a lateral move without some evidence. My two cents: I get it. I would probably hesitate too. Your logic is solid. But, there is no such thing as “evidence “ from other folks. The only evidence that matters is you, trying ... | |

| Who Would You Spend A Day With - Pick Two @arafiq : thank you, I appreciate that. I meet with my local (and not so local) audiophile friends quite often. As a matter of fact, I am driving 2 hours each way to meet a friend of mine tomorrow (Monday, Presidents’ Day ) at his house and liste... | |
