| DCS Puccini cd/sacd player vs Esoteric K-01 I just bought the K-01 and love it. If you wait a few months they will offer an upgraded model with 35 bit DACs and new clock. Truly an amazing technology. Will also use as computer DAC. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have an Esoteric K-01. Love it! The reason I bought it was it can be a great DAC for computer playback AND a great disc spinner. I have a lot of SACD's that cannot be ripped so the player is essential. | |

| Esoteric K-01 and Mac music server Thanks Mark this helps! What is a USB Converter? I am thinking about getting a mac mini. | |
