With K-01X Esoteric dropped the internal volume control feature that was formerly in K-01. While I don't need that feature, I do wish the K-01X had the ability to change between the selectable up-sampling and filter options via remote control. That would be useful.
Esoteric need a pre-amp?
My dealer says the Esoteric K-01X needs a pre-amp. I have also heard the new K-01 players will power amps directly, just as the Wadias are known for. Can someone clarify this? Thanks.
