About eSound

ESound (also known as Eastsound) is a Chinese audio manufacturer that gained recognition in the mid-2000s for producing high-quality CD players at competitive prices. Their flagship product, the ESound CD-E5, featured a hefty aluminum chassis weighing 28 lbs, Philips transport mechanism, 24-bit/192kHz DAC with 64x oversampling, balanced XLR and RCA outputs, Elna filtering capacitors, and Black Gate capacitors. The CD-E5 earned praise in audiophile communities for its solid build quality, excellent imaging, tight bass response, and overall performance that rivaled more expensive players.
