Meet the Last SACD/CD Player You'll Ever Buy Esoteric's X-05 brings analog-like warmth and detail to your favorite digital recordings The Esoteric X-05 is one of those elusive products that gets everything right. This is simply one of the world’s very best two-channel stereo disc players. But there is nothing simple about the Esoteric X-05. There is no part inside this reference player that has not been scrutinized and laid out perfectly, with nothing but preserving the signal path in mind. "The Esoteric X-05 is a CD/SACD player that makes you want to gather every
compact disc in your collection and give it another spin. And all the more so if
you’re still listening to vinyl. It’s that good. There aren’t enough superlatives to
describe this machine. I heartily commend the X-05. You will experience your
music in a new light. The view up there is dazzling!" All this attention to detail has paid remarkable dividends for Esoteric—and you. The resulting sound quality from SACDs or standard compact discs will leave you slack-jawed. The X-05's resolving capabilities are staggering. It’s literally like sitting in the control room of the recording studio, or listening to the direct microphone feeds from a live performance. Music reproduction with such realism is no easy engineering task. Check out the transport mechanism in this 40-pound sculptured beauty. Nothing on earth can compare to the VRDS-VMK5 transport. There is more resolution and detail in this transport alone than in most disc players that cost twice the price of the X-05. VRDS-VMK5 Features:
