The K-01XD sounds better in my listening room than does either the 03XD or K-01XS.

Esoteric combo doubt
I want to change my digital source. I'm very interested in the new Esoteric XD series. As far as I know the N-01XD and the K-01XD have the same DAC, but I don't have the budget for the K-01XD. I want to play Cd and SACD, so... what do you think:
1.- Esoteric K-03XD + streamer (more offer, more chances to find a good cheaper one)
2.- Esoteric N-01XD + transport (better DAC, hard to find a good and not very expensive SACD/CD transport)
Thanks!
