Esoteric D-02 Dual Mono DAC

Steven Plaskin has posted a review of the Esoteric D-02 Dual Mono DAC ($23,500) at AudioStream. His conclusions:

“The Esoteric D-02 must be included with the finest DACs I have had the opportunity to evaluate over the last 2 years. The D-02’s engineering and build quality takes a back seat to no one. The D-02’s remarkable ability to reveal low level information and its superb dynamic qualities make it a formidable competitor amongst other state-of-the art DACs. The voicing that Esoteric has chosen for the D-02 will not appeal to all listeners, but when carefully matched with complimentary components, the lucky audiophile will undoubtedly have a memorable musical experience.”
