Metrum Acoustics Pavane or ESOTERIC N-05 or ESOTERIC K-05X?

Hi jon2020

Thank you very much for your promt & precious reply.

"I find the N-05 beating my previous K-01" ! Your sentence beats me too! What a nice surprise! I auditioned the Esoteric  K-03 last month and found it wonderful. And I know it is still inferior to K-01 which is often taken better then WADIA S7I.

I will contact a dealer for  an ESOTERIC N-05 or K-05X  after you advice. Both of them have nearly  the same price.

But I wonder why the N-05 is not available in the award list. Is there no award for Network Audio Player? 

Much thanks once more. 

 Best Regards

Hi goergelofi & mitch2
Thank you for your recommendation and advice. Dac FORMULA is off course good at everything but the price! Its price is over my budget.

Hi jon0202

I prefer N-05 to K-05X because of my hires library (in 3TB). I am wating for the reply from an authorised seller in Japan.

You use Esoteric K-01 as transport and N-05 as external DAC? Wow! Your combo is too luxurious for me to dream of! Congrats!
