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!

Thanks for the review.  I own a plain old K series Esoteric and I like it a lot.  Maybe one of these days I'll make it up to the K XD series.
My K series player sounds fine with Cds. Some Cds sound unpleasant, but it’s not the player’s fault.
