Esoteric K-01
Nothing can make poorly recorded music sound good. Well recorded CD's sound absolutely superb on the Esoteric K01. I think many well reorded CD's sound just as good as SACD's on the K01. 
EMM-Labs XDS1 vs Esoteric K-01
Audiooracle,I have owned the Esoteric K-01 for about 3 months. I completely agree with your assessment of this amazing CD/SACD player. I upgraded from the Esoteric X01D2 (and previously owned a couple of Krell players). The K-01 is, by far, the be... 
Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini
No, I have not heard the MPS-5. 
Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini
I traded in my X01D2 for the K01. Ther is no comparison, the K01 is far superior in every way, it is obvious and no A-B comparison is required to distinguish the difference.And, that is saying a lot, because the X-01D2 is an excellent CD/SACD player. 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
Kroez, this is the future, no doubt. I will continue to learn more. But. I still love my K02, it sounds great, works great, looks great, and, I have no regrets. Thank you for your insight. 
Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini
I own a K-01, it sounds fantastic, the best cd player I have ever listened to. Never compared it the the Puccini.It would be an interesting comparison. 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
Koegz, What site(s) do you use to down load music? Is it uncompressed? What is the cost? How long does it take? 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
Koegz, I agree, music servers are the future. I think they will also eventually replace Blue Ray disc players and DVD players as well. I have only had an opportunity to listen to a high end music server once, and it was a casual listening session....

Huntermusic, You will love the K-01; it is the best cd player I have ever heard. I am glad my post was helpful. 
krell s-275
I have owned lots of Krell equipment over the years. If you want to hear something that will blow you away, audition the new Krell pre-amps (Evo 2, or Evo 202, or Evo 707), they are amazing and improve sound in every way from the older pre-amps. I... 
Krell EVO 302 or 302e
I upgraded my Krell Evo 600's to 600e's. I also own a 300e. I have owned a couple of S275's, and have a new 400e on order. All of these amps, including the S275 are great sounding amps. All of the Krell Evo amps are absolutely superb amps, just st... 
WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS?
I auditioned the GOrb for 2 weeks intensely with my new Esoteric K01 player (an absolutley superb CD player). The K01 sounds exactly the same with and without the GOrb. The GOrb will improve the sound of 2 box players (like the Esoteric P03/D03), ... 
Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade
SGR,Good advice. The people at Nordost strongly advocate using one brand for cables (they call it the cable loom; how elegant). They even state that utilizing a single brand/type of cabling can be more important than the brand ustilized. 
Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade
I also have a lot of Kimber select cable (speaker/interconnect). My dealer has mentioned to me that Kimber has outlets that they/he feel improve the performance of the power cord/system. I am still waiting for my new power amp delivery and power c... 
The Best Audiophile Earphones headphones and Amp
I would love to listen to the Stax C32 when it is released and compare it to some other high-end headphones. I will have to find a Stax dealer in the my area (Ma.) who carries it.
