| 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... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? The Final verdict.....The K-01 is indeed a chameleon which is proving to be quite an animal to break in. So, after 800 hours of break-in time as advised, I shall try to summarise my observations of the various combo settings. Firstly, everything w... | |
| Audio Research DSI 200 integrated amp Yes. The dynamic headroom was indeed restricted. It was just a poor match for my speakers, MBL 121,which were a bear to drive - low sensitivity at 84 dB with impedance dropping to 2 ohms at times. The Mac power does not double with halving of the ... | |

| Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini Sorry, I did not know this thread existed before I posted a new one : # 1360295685 | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Flashunlock,Thanks for your detailed observations.With regard to your various modifications, I guess you feel they would be worth it even as they would void the warranty.Happy listening! Cheers! Jon. | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Flashunlock,That's one heck of a system you got there. And the only thing that you have that most others who have posted here do not is the Mio La Clock. So, with this clock, your preference for DSD is now understandable. Can you please detail the... | |
| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Flashunlock,This thread is getting very interesting. So much diversity in the choice of filters. Just curious, what amp and speakers do you have in your system?Jon. | |
| Audio Research DSI 200 integrated amp Hi Jimmy,I knew it was the amp because everything else was working well until I changed it. My previous amp was the Krell 300i integrated and I was looking for a warmer sound. In the showroom, I guess the dealer knew how to keep the volume down as... |
