Gotcha. We clock the aurender off the MSB DAC. You could do a N-01XD SE with Aurender and Aurender clock. Both benefit.

I've owned many generations of Esoteric equipment; 2 players (DV-50S, UX-1 Limited), 1 transport (P-0s), 3 transport+DAC combos (P03U/D03, P02/D02, Grandioso P1/D1), 3 preamps (C-03, C-02, C-02X) and 2 amp models (A-02, S-02). I don't recall ever...

There's a 2023 unit up for sale now in the US from a reliable source whose number is '100001', so apparently, 10xxxx is also valid.

Esoteric serial numbers don't contain the year and all neatly fall in that type of range as you give in your example. Based on seeing various examples of various models over the years, I believe (and could be corrected) they vary by both model and...

Didn’t pay attention. The version won’t matter because the Tidal MAX beats the QoBuz by a lot. I have both. This Tidal MAX version is wow. Tidal has upped their game. They had to.

Occasionally you come across and album that you cannot believe how good it sounds (remastered).
I stumbled on this on Tidal Max, and even though I’m a QoBuz guy, whatever tidal has done for this particular album, sounds better than QoBuz, CD,...

The MC10 will work brilliantly with the N20 and say an Esoteric K-01XD SE. Then both the Esoteric and N20 clock off the same clock
Another option is take the DAC and clock funds and put it into an MSB DAC which have clock sync options so you...

Yes, that’s the plan. Right now the focus is getting the new SE’s out the door. Then I think they will formulate the upgrade program. But the plan is for it to be done in-house in the USA.

I know this is hard to comprehend, but it’s new tech and far exceeds the Select II with the digital director today.
Price?
Less expensive by nearly 50% of that previous combo.
$95k MSRP.

MSB kept their current tech for nearly 10 years! An eternity of great sound especially for digital.
Now they turn the page.
Very exciting to read this announcement today.

They had the new unit at Axpona paired with the F-02 in a good, not uber expensive system, and it was clear the new unit was contributing extensively to the quality of that room's sound.

Waiting on our demos. We did have experience with them at axpona in our room. They are another league better than Venom X (which we have in the store). The Theta sounds like “Omega Lite”. Very similar characteristics to the big boys.

It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc).
In my opinion….
Best DAC’s for DSD:
- Esoteric
- Lampizator
- Meitner/EMM (not my kind of sound, but they execute it...
