| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 Cerrot,It is interesting that you use the spdf out from your PC and not the usb. I have not tried this but the usb route from my computer to my K-01 player is nowhere near the sound from the CD transport, even with hi-res downloads. I may try the ... | |
| Best Live Album Ever... I second the choice of Hot August Night by Neil Diamond -electric performance with superb dynamics. Neil sounded so energetic like he could go on forever. After this, he later mellowed and his songs became too saccharine for my taste. Why and how ... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? I fully concur with Washline as regards the mammoth soundstage. What's also satisfying is that the K-01 provides cues for an excellent sense of the acoustic space within the hall or recording studio. | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Washline,That is so good to know. And therein lies the beauty of the K-01. It caters to eveyone's personal taste(even as that, too, changes over time) and/or system, not to mention the recording on hand. Happy listenng! | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth,You should concentrate your resources on the main system first. The 400 is better but I think the 300i is good enough for a second system. I still have fond memories of it. It was my first Krell amp and it was awesome, being detaile... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth,I have always been enamored of Krell amps. The Krell products I have owned in the past are the junior integrated amps, the 300i and its progeny the 400. The reason why I never upgraded to the bigger amps is that they are pure Class ... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Hi Audiolabyrinth,At first, I found you a bit annoying, then I found you a bit hilarious, then I found you to be, like myself, a bona fide audio nutcase. And there is no cure for that for the both of us. And because we share this last trait, I wou... | |

| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Flashunlock,You nailed it. The sooner this obsession with break-in stops, the sooner we can begin to simply enjoy the music fron this fabulous machine. Cheers! | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Hi Denon1,I am not as fortunate as you in that my unit did not come with the CD. I checked the manual and in the section on "What is in the box", there is no mention of this CD. Your generous dealer must have slipped it in for you.Anyway, going by... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Hi Kiwi,That was my belief too. But of prime importance here is whether the observation is reproducible because it is only by reproducibility that we can then come to a meaningful conclusion.I couldn't believe it at first and did not want to belie... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Hi Denon1,In response to your question, yes, I have. But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself and trust your own ears.Let us know. Cheers! | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Hi Kiwi,Yes, I am pretty sure but as I said, I was flabbergasted to hear any difference. In theory, there shouldn't be but there it was. Playing Sonny Rollins with the FIR filter brought on more body and weight to his tenor sax. With solo classica... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Zd542,Thanks for your comments. If you ever take delivery of the K-01 one day, you won't bear an ounce of buyer's remorse. The K-01 is really that good.Far from being analytical, it is actually extremely musical. The K-01 will connect you to the m... |
