Hi Dennis, as you can see, there is a little bit of uncertainty in the common lore about the specs of D-Sonic's fine amps. If you can add a little bit of technical information on your site for each model... such as available module options, the co...

I agree completely with Jon2020.... At about 200/250 hours, K-01 starts becoming a very enjoyable machine... Just be aware that... "You ain't heard nopn'" yet.... There is likely to be even better to come for a spell. So, if you are not yet in rap...

Does the Marantz player support large SSDs formatted as NTFS inside USB enclosures? E.g. The Samsung 850 Pro 1TB?

Jon... Fascinating!What could account for the K-01 transport advantage? ...* Inherent jitter of the hard drive? ... Perhaps try a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD?* Jitter introduced by the connection to K-01?* Stray noise originating in the computer?* oth...
