EMM-Labs XDS1 vs Esoteric K-01


Hi'

I’m a longtime Wadia owner (now S7i), but want to upgrade to a better SACD machine. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Esoteric dealer with a demo K-01 in my area.

So which machine to choose?

Audiofeil and AudioOracle, can you comment on K-01 and K-03 break in patterns?

I am getting the impression that K-01 upsampling rates and filter settings may need, to some extent, be broken in on their own.... E.g. after breakin in 44.1 Khz with filters off for about 350 hrs, DSD+FIR1 seems to need still some break in time of its own.
