Great opportunity. Price is in Euros. Perfect condition top Esoteric digital system. Like new. Included in the price, I sell it with a top of the line MEXCEL D/A 6300 pair of cables to connect to each other, Esoteric recommended top cables worth 6000 Euros. 
Bought new from Esoteric official dealer 2 years ago. Original boxes, docs and accessories. All treated with extreme care and as said, like new. 

Will send actual pictures on request if interest is real.  Can also put you in contact with the oficial retailer who sold me the units.
Read online reviews. These units are really top and end of the road for digital. Incredible performance and flexibility. At this price it represents a great opportunity and value.   
From Esoteric:

P-02

Esoteric’s P-02 SACD/CD transport and D-02 system DAC aim at the highest level of audio performance that is only possible using separate audio components, based on the company’s evolving product design concepts. 

P-02 and D-02 have incorporated a number of new technologies including "ES-LINK3" and "35-bit D/A processing". P-02 and D-02 are new design implementations from Esoteric totally dedicated to evolving the critical listening experience for music enthusiasts.

The P-02 and D-02 implement a new inter-component transmission protocol, ESOTERIC’s original transmission format "ES-LINK3" that can operate at a maximum 48-bit/176.4kHz broadband PCM digital transmission using two XLR cables. These models also support "Dual AES 8Fs" standard (maximum 24-bit/352.8kHz). These models can also perform conventional Direct Stream Digital (DSD) transmission and direct DSD-to-analog conversion processing for Super Audio CD (SACD) playback.

A total of eight (8) independent ESOTERIC toroidal core power supply units are installed in the combined system to supply clean and stable power to each circuit. The chassis has our multiple layer structure that is partitioned into 5 sections. Each circuit block is assembled in a dedicated compartment and placed three-dimensionally, in order to minimize interference between circuits and to achieve the shortest signal paths. The exterior is constructed with aluminum and a 5mm gauge steel bottom chassis, supported at four points with Esoteric pinpoint feet (patent No. 4075477). This four-point system effectively suppresses vibration, reduces resonance and assures extremely high rigidity.

The P-02 is equipped with the Esoteric-original VRDS-NEO "VMK-3.5-20S" transport mechanism. This mechanism enhances readout accuracy by using a high-precision turntable which corrects the ’’wobbling effect’’ of the disc during rotation. The disc tray loader is equipped with a shutter mechanism to further reduce resonance and airborne particles from entering the transport.

Spindle servo driver circuit "VS-DD"

The P-02 has adopted a discrete amplifier circuit called "VS-DD’’ (VRDS Spindle Discrete Driver)" for driving the spindle motor. A dedicated toroidal core power supply unit stabilizes power current to the motor, achieving both a very smooth spindle rotation and highly precise servo control. Thanks to this isolated motor design, digital audio circuits are free from noise and from power supply fluctuation potentially caused by high current motor operation.

The P-02 transport is equipped with output terminals of three types and five channels (XLR x 2, coaxial x 1, iLINK 4p/6p x 1 each), including an ES-LINK3 compliant dual XLR terminal for user connections to a wide range of external equipment.

D-02

State-of-the-art, 35 bit resolution, Digital to Analog decoder that accepts streaming audio from all sources

ESOTERIC newest and best 2 Box separate transport, the P-02 and the Digital Decoder, the D-02 digital to analog signal converter realize many major improvements in audio processing. The D-02 , with its 8 inputs, allows the user to bring audio from multiple sources including the P-02, a Music Server, Computer, game station, satellite box or other audio components and process them using all the features listed below.

Audiophile audio from sources seldom considered for high end digital to analog processing.

"35-bit D/A processing" dual monaural D/A converter

The D-02’s D/A converter ICs incorporate top-end 32-bit AK4399 chipsets by ASAHI KASEI Microdevices Corporation. Eight (8) circuits per channel are provided to achieve phenomenal linearity and low noise. In addition to direct processing of DSD signals, the D-02 has newly adopted a "35-bit D/A processing" algorithm that converts
PCM signals to analog signals, at a high resolution of 35 bits.

As a result of this new technology, the D-02 achieves an improved level of delicate sound quality and imaging with ultra high resolution.

The D/A converter circuits are mounted on separate analog audio boards for each of the left and right channels. All components, including the power circuits and power transformers, are separated for right and left channels to implement a fully dual-monaural configuration. This identical layout per channel, achieves ideal power supply performance and excellent channel separation, enabling high-quality playback with a deep and wide soundstage.

A low distortion, high linearity, discrete Class A buffer

The D-02 features fully discrete Class A buffer amplifiers with four circuits per channel, which is twice the amount of components used in the K series players. These extended buffer circuits are configured as a "double-parallel fully balanced buffer amp," when the XLR outputs are selected, and switched to a "quadruple-parallel unbalanced buffer amp," configuration when RCA outputs are selected. The D-02 offers an exceedingly high drive capability by means of a low-distortion and high linearity Class A buffer amplifier and a high-voltage toroidal core power supply unit of +/-22V.

Wide-ranging D/D conversion functions

The D-02 provides a wide variety of D/D conversion modes for the PCM format, including x2 and x4 up-conversion, and PCM to-DSD conversion, in addition to original frequency, native data PCM processing.

Four types of digital filters and digital filter OFF mode The D-02 has four types of user selectable digital filters for PCM signal processing. Two types of short-delay digital filters and two types of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filters are included. These short-delay digital filters eliminate the pre-echo effect in the impulse waveform to reproduce a more natural audio signal. A digital filter OFF mode is also available.

Five digital input systems supporting 

The D-02 support streaming digital audio from the P-02 or any other digital source device such as music servers, audio computers or other products types. It can accept super-high resolution streams from USB, S/PDIF/ AES/EBU, ES-Link3 or iLINK.

The D-02 is equipped with wide-ranging digital inputs of five types for eight channels (XLR x 2, iLINK 4p/6p x 1, USB x 1, coaxial x 2, and optical x 1). The D-02 can be used for high-sampling-rate sources of up to 24-bit/192kHz. XLR x 2 provides additional support for high-sampling-rate/high-bit inputs of 48-bit/192kHz (ES-LINK3) and 24-bit/384kHz (Dual AES 8Fs).

Asynchronous, 24-bit/192kHz USB inputs with the ESOTERIC supplied drivers provides original PC or MAC driver software to support asynchronous, 24-bit/192kHz high resolution data input through its USB interface. The internal USB isolator prevents interference from computer generated noise and enhances studio master-quality digital source playback performance. Both 32 bit and 64 bit PC or MAC operating systems are supported for asynchronous USB transmission.

High-precision digital volume attenuator 

The D-02 is contains a high quality 32 bit digital volume attenuator function, allowing direct connected to a power amplifier. The 32 bit operating system allows for a full 28 bits of audio being processed when the DAC is attenuating 60 db. This process allows better audiophile fidelity than a 24 bit DAC even when the signal is attenuated.

Excellent usability

The D-02 can switch the output voltage of XLR audio outputs in accordance with the input sensitivity of the amplifier (0dB/+6dB). This allows the user to balance multiple devices to the same listening level as he or she switches between source devices.

Either Hot 2 or Hot 3 can be assigned for XLR audio outputs.
