Esound ESO-SRS-101 E5 Platinum Reference cd player SOLD!

This is sold, waiting for payment thank you!  Please do not purchase if you have not talked with me.

I am selling an Esound E5 Platinum Reference cd player.  This is the highest model they make.  Read the reviews they are excellent.  There is information on head-fi forums.  These cd players are absolute bargains.  I sold my Rega Saturn after buying this player.  They are the hidden gem of the audiophile world. I will charge actual shipping cost with insurance.

This is from TNTAudio review of the E5, please note this Platinum is an improvement over the standard E5.

Conclusion

This really is an excellent CD player, especially for the money.
Build quality is glorious. Its bass reproduction is truly impressive
and almost makes you forget that you're listening to a digital source,
or even a recording at all. There's a strong feeling of experiencing
an actual performance. It is musical above anything else, but without
sacrificing detail or neutrality. And it works with all types of music too.
Just make absolutely sure to combine it with an amp and a pair of
speakers that do it justice. I cannot wait for the upgraded version,
believe me! Highly recommended.

I am the original owner and never had any problems.  If you read reviews, many consider this unit to be the best sound for the money.  I bought this one to replace a Rega Saturn and there is no doubt that it is far superior in my opinion.  You will not find a better cd player for the money period.

The build quality is excellent.  I will send the unit in the original box with manuals.  Comes with the remote.  This is a 110v model.  I have several tube amps I will be listing if you want to pair this with a pre-amp.

This cd player works great, exactly as it should.  There are small scratches on the top that are only really seen up close.  I will ship it with insurance to protect against any shipping damage.
