ESound CD-E5 Signature Edition, upgrade or sidegrade?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hi! I've got the opportunity to buy a ESound CD-E5 Signature Edition for 550€ and I wonder if this would be a upgrade from using a PS3 as a transport to a DacMagic? The thing which annoys me the most with my current setup is that the PS3 is a bit noisy and you can hear it in the quiet parts of the music. The ESound looks like a really nice and solid player and I've read some very nice things about it.

 

The rest of my system consists of a Stax 303 with a Stax srm-313 and a AKG K701 with a Heed canamp. The next upgrade on the headphone side will probably be a Stax O2 and then a KGSS(/HV) so will this player do that system any justice or is it better to just save my money and buy a better player later when I've saved some more money?

Should be a definite upgrade IMO.

I went a step further and bought a Audio Aero Capitole mk1 instead and it sounds fantastic biggrin.gif
