The DAC in the new XD Line is what makes all the difference in the world over the older players that used Chips.
Esoteric K03XD
I have the opportunity to buy the Esoteric K03XD at a extremely attractive from a out of state friend. I trust his ears and he has always bragged about how the XD line was much more musical and organic than previous Esoteric players. Anyone heard the K03XD? I was never in love with the sound of the older players. Any feedback about this player would be truly appreciated!
