| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners I have not heard about this in the USA. Can the DAC be upgraded in the K-03. I like my CD collection and have no plans for streaming or downloading music. | |
| Review: Martin Logan Depth i Subwoofer I would agree 100%. I've just received my unit and it the best money I've spent in awhile. I'm using mine with my rebuilt Quads ESL 63's done by Electrstatic Solutions. This sub is the best sub I've tried and it blends perfect and my location is n... | |
| Esoteric k-03 sacd players Only sound I hear is the disc starting up to spin. My drawer is smooth as butter. If it sounds like a truck going across a railroad track something happened in shipping. I've owned 2 Esoterics and never heard them sound like that opening. The more... | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? Denon1,I would agree with your setting, it gives almost a 3D sound stage, very natural, good detail, body and for once I forget about what format I am listening to. Sounds like great music period. | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Keep in mind their trade in price saves them from rebuilding a whole new unit they use your case and so forth. If this is as good as they say and I have no doubt it would be of great value to us who own thousands of CD's and have not plans are str... | |
| PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines No format can make a bad recording sound good, no matter the DAC, Transport, download, nor vinyl. I've like the physical so PC audio is not for me for that reason, plus I own so much music and continue to buy CD's weekly. I use a K-03 I got in Nov... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 Regardless of all the Phile and TAS pulling people into computer audio, Every burned CD and download I've tried the CD sounds much better than any burned disc regardless of program and the downloads at times worse,if the mastering was better in th... | |
| Esoteric k-03 sacd players I own one and I am quite happy with it. Little noise from transport at start up but after that zip. The spin noise I've heard from many top drawer CD players, due to the over kill transport and its design you may hear a bit more but once the CD pl... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Esoteric K-03. Sounds as good as my vinyl as long of course like my vinyl that I keep is well recorded and mastered. Neither format to me is better, it all gets back to the quality. I love my LP's covers, but I can enjoy music either way. I must s... | |
| Is there a glass ceiling for cable technology?? Any cable will have a different on your equipment, so anything they put out can sound different than the cable they produced before no matter the brand. Never was a ceiling just impendence effects between 2 pieces of gear and then the wire connect... | |
| Review: VooDoo Cable LLC Black Dragon II Power cord Reading this review made me try the Black Diamond Dragon Powercord. It is shipping tomorrow. | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? Clocks are only good if the internal clock is bad. Sometimes you will not hear a difference as in the case of the k-01 and K-03. Your money would be well spent else where.Clocks for pro use are used to tie in several digital units. The Clocks in t... | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? K-03 is wonderful. Musical as all get out. Forget the CD bashing the major mags are doing to drive their followers away fro CD's. This unit makes your cd collection sound better than you ever thought they could. | |
| Esoteric K-03 or K-01 2100 hours to break-in at 24 hours a day, Christ I never listen that much to my system in years. 700 hours for it to sound right for each filter setting. We must buy this then based on faith that we will like the final sound at $11,000 to $19,000 ... | |
