| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Keith, you should check details on the page that I have posted above. Seems there is only a partial upgrade path for original K-01 K-03 owners. I am not quite sure of the US MSRP of K-01X and K-03X... Probably K-01 hovering around $20K, but I am g... | |
| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners That is fascinating Mark... I wonder if there will be always a sonic advantage in playing redbooks from the K-01X spinner, or there will exist some setup from a PC/Mac such that playback of redbook files from computer will be superior.G. | |
| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners Hi John, is the HR Audio Player able to play redbook material, or only High Resolution files?Guido | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, Here is an interesting development… Esoteric has announced/released new versions of its fabulous K-01 and K-03 players, to be called K-01X and K-03ZX respectively.

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I second Steve on his recommendation for large/thick/dense area rugs.... Their beneficial effect can be further enhanced by resting them on top of one or more layers of non-skid latex sheets... Yes, I did use a latex non-skid underpad under a thic... | |
| Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri Stephen, since my last post, Capri has been replaced by Capri S2. I prefer S2 over the original..... In particular, S2 is much better at managing the complexity in the treble, which in the old model occasionally suffered of minor instances of brit... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Matt for your ever-thoughtful observations... Am I correct to assume that you did not go directly from DSD-S into the Veritas, but you had your Criterion line-stage in the chain instead?Guido | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Audiolabyrinth, Criterion used to list for $18.9K, but has completed production... The current Rowland flagship is Corus, listing for $14.9K.... The Capri S2 at $3,950 is also a wonderful linestage.... A little warmer than Corus, and supports a... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD BTW... I enjoy learning about OV from Steve... DSD-S from Alex... And K-01 from Esoteric...
