My thoughts on my new Esoteric k03xd CD player.

Disclosure: I’m not associated with Esoteric in anyway, nor am I a dealer trying to promote this product.

Fluid without any edge or hardness is how I would describe this player right out of the box.
It’s a front row presentation without an in your face feel. Images are clearly defined with extension of all frequencies that keep everything in balance with one another. This player is replacing a Luxman d08u and is clearly superior to it in every way. It breathes life into every CD played. For those who say CD’s sound like S... haven’t heard what the latest from Esoteric has to say about that!

I am thinking of getting a K03xd so I found your impression interesting.  I have a K05x at the moment. 
Have you had earlier Esoteric cd players before?  If so, how did you find the K03xd compares?As far as I can see, the difference between the K03xd and the K01xd is the transport.  I am not sure that would justify the rather large price difference.  Did you compare both machines?
