Esoteric D-70 DA Converter. Fully working. Perfect cosmetics. 120V!! You’ll need a down step transformer!
Can be used as a preamp.
The beautifully designed, executed and technically advanced TEAC Esoteric D-70 have so many outstanding features that it is, in my view, second to none. The wide, deep stereo stage that made the speakers disappear, the cohesive, articulate resolution and clarity it brought to so many CDs, the superb transient response, wide dynamics and realistic bass and the elimination of some of the artifacts and hardness I had come to expect from CD, all add up to what I consider to be one of the definitive DAC. If you already own a separate D/A converter and your budget permits, consider replacing your transport – the Esoteric P-70 is that good.
