Besides price, they are very different products. The 3 Series is less expensive to build as we have incorporated everything into one board. The drive that is used, is quite a bit less expensive than the Esoteric as we did not need it to play SACDs. Also, the chassis, while top notch, is not nearly as complicated to manufacture and build, hence less costly.
Sonically it is definitely worthy of the Playback Designs name. It does not have the ultimate refinement of our 5 Series products, but is certainly world class in every way.
Upon the 3 Series release, we will also be shipping an optional small box that will connect with the 5 Series products to allow DSD up to 6.1MHz and PCM up to 384kHz through USB.
The USB add on will be available in April. We have not set the price yet, but we should know in the next few weeks. It is a 4 x 6 x 1 box that will use a proprietary connection which will only work with Playback Designs products.
Best Regards,
Jonathan Tinn
