Is computer audio pushing up the price of CDPs?
Good reading and many intuitive conclusions. It seems to me the price of gear has remained constant as have the price/savings ratio of used equipment inclusive of CDP's. Much study would be required to test jim's hypothesis. The only constant here... 
Amp suggestions
I would also consider looking for the XA60.5's at the top end of your budget. Always been impressed with their performance when auditioning at local dealers. If not for their size, I was considering switching from my current Rowland 312 to the Pas...

Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.

Sound Quality of docwnloadable files ?

Audiolabyrinth,As you know, adding a source component is system dependent and I strongly recommend finding a local dealer if possible to audition before landing on a final decision. I was looking for a CD/SACD/USB Player prior to buying the K-03. ... 
Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
The K-03 I purchased came with an Esoteric CD for the K-Series USB Highspeed Drivers for Windows 32/64 Bit & MAC. It appears that esoteric at some point included this disk to avoid having to download from the website. It additionally came pack...
