Esoteric P-2 transport and D-2 DAC are - aehm: were - the peak of Teac’s research in digital domain… only 20+ years ago 😱😎😇!
Are the above gears still valuable and worth buying and - most of all - listening to?
My opinion?
Yes, indeed!
Building quality is awesome and sound quality, too… lacking the edginess of more modern designs, still keeping a stunning detailing and musicality.
Low-end is unbelievable: articulating and modulating at highest levels of resolution.
🎶🥇🎶
P.S. - buying this combo in its hey days would have been worth a kidney 😏… now, if you find it in nice shape (as I did), they’re a breeze to buy 🥂
