Moving from the Esoteric P-05/ D-05 to the K-03

....that's what I am hearing is that the ''X'' version is a significant improvement over the original model. That also includes the K-7x

HELLO Syntax - thank you for the update and there is little inforamtion out there on that X upgrade. With that inforamtion, I would have been able to discern what is in fact ; '' different '' and what is actully
'' better ''.

Fellow member ; Syntax noted ; ''The X-Version is an upgrade Board to enable DSD Streams. That's it. No better output stage, no higher data processor, nada, only DSD Streams.''

I just found out today as other members have noted ..that there were some significant internal changes made in the '' X '' version.

......some have said that the K-03x with the newer Dac's is almost and not by much- just as good sonically as the discontinued K-01

Hello Syntax - I do believe that it has to do with the DSD upgrade.
