Esoteric k01 or Esoteric k05x


It would be possible to buy both for the same price. The older flagship Esoteric K01 Limited, or a more recent K05X et. Which one is better in terms of sound quality?

I would also like to ask, is it possible to control the volume of the output signal of the K 05X? There is a volume button on the remote control (which, of course, was made for larger models). I don't currently have a preamp, so I can buy one if I can control the volume with it. Thanks!

Since the volume button is highlighted, it is important to know whether the volume can be controlled with the K05x player. 

 

Thank You very much!
