Esoteric K-01 settings; any users out there?

Try the Fir1 filter and 2x upsampling which is the best sounding combinaton to me so far.

I've got mine set at DSD- Fir-1.

Ive owned the Playback design MPS-5 before the K-01. The MPS-5 is slightly more musical whereas the K-01 have much more dynamics, resolution and botton end grunt.

i have been reading the forum a little bit and fir-1 seems to get the unanimous vote as the best filter. in all fairness, i compared it briefly to S_DLY1 late last night with a solo piano recording and could not be sure. i will test them extensively over the weekend.

anyways, it is said that each setting needs to be broken in separately (for 500 hours!!!) and i do not know if this is true or whether i will try this at all.

anybody ahead in the break-in curve?

Well, I'll toss a curveball in here. My settings are S_DLY1 and 4x on a K-03. Sounds terrific.

YMMV

Dealer disclosure

Changed a setting in my amps and tried Audiofeil's combination as my hours build up on the player, and i like it. When the player was not fully run in, i prefered the fir1 filter with 2x. The s_dly sounded flat then but not now.
