Thanks, RIAAetc, it did have a look there and found it very interesting.
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!

Here's a review of the K-01XD on Dagogo https://www.dagogo.com/esoteric-k-01xd-sacd-playerusb-dac-review/ |
For the Esoteric aficionados: Is the DAC section (via USB and Transport) on K-03xd the same with K-01XD? The network DAC, the N-01xd intrigues me more. No transport, but network included built in for streaming (Roon Ready too). However, I cannot seem to figure out the following for the N-01XD: 1 - Is it the same DAC as in K-01xd? 2 - Who makes the network bridge / card that is inside? Anyone knows? Thanks! |
