| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Matjet, I have K-01 and still go thru the same choices. For a while I settled with well burned-in 4x and S_DLY1 combo. The 2x is also good (sometimes sound more natural than 4x) but 4x is more dynamic and results in bigger soundstage. But recently... | |
| Accuphase or Esoteric? Never heard Accuphase, but esoteric k-01 is great player. Besides having great red book and SACD playback, its a great DAC and very good pre-amplifier. It is about 15% better than K-03 in sound. But one need great speakers and amplifier to really ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Fplanner2000,How do you think hidimaond D3 XLR ICs stand in compare with High Fidelity CT-1E or Ultimate? Thank you. | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? Tboooe, yes K-01 have digital volume control, but because of its 8 dacs per side and 32 bits the impact of the loosing bits is not audibel at all (for me). Two important factor to consider when driving direct, 1.Input impedance of the amplifier. I... | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? OK JeffkadTo make you feel better I had k-05 for 3 weeks. Natural sounding player with good amount of details and when properly burned in does not exibit digital glare. After that I decided to listen k-03 and k-01 (my dealer had a demos). K-03 is ... | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Audiolabyrinth, thank you and yes cables do make a big difference, in some cases on a level of the component. | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Just to add to this forum, I auditioned the KCI silkworm + in my system between cd player that drives the amplifier directly. After 30 min of playing I heard what I was looking for in the ICs - open, musical but with great transparency, great timb... | |
| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Kiwi, in my system I differ between those two combos 4x overslampling and SDLy_1 filter or 2x overslampling and FIR1 - I'm still braking this one and starting to like this one more and more.Please remember that each of the combinations need to be... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or K-01 JON202, I think the Vienna music arequite efficient speakers and that the reason (yours and partially mine) that you have to set volume control almost to the max on your K-01 because Bryston has low input impendence and K-01 does not have enough j... | |
| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Kiwi, I had K-05 (in black),also had K-03 and now have K-01. K-05 is a good player but not as resolving as K-03 and K-01, it is very musical so. Also the one I got for the first 50 hours made audible noise (mechanical) during playback, but it went... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC : my experience Jon2020, please, if you audition esoteric c03 or any other pre amp, give us update on the sound comparing running direct. Also I asked you on another forum but you did probably did no see my question, since you are running your K-01 direct to ampl... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC : my experience Jon2020, I also started to think about pre amp but will not pull the trigger until I hear one in my own system. Since we both having esoteric K-01 did you consider esoteric own C 03 preamp, it may have more senergy. This is what I am thinking to s... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... HifialWhy are you selling Hidiamonds? Are you moving to something else, they did not meet your expectations, or you are moving up within HD?Thanks. | |
| DAC with Volume Control and Audio Research Ref 5SE Edorr, in most case you are correct, the good pre-amplifier needed instead of going direct, but MSB signature does not have great volume control, I used Aoyon cd-5s and now using esoteric k-01 direct to amplifier and the sound is great. In order t... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or K-01 Jon2020, as for today my K-01 has about 300 hours on it and all that time I use 4 upslamping and SDLY1 filter. To me this combo sounds most dynamic and airy. But next step I will try is to burn 2x with FIR1 filter becuae this combo has a potential... |
