Of course, along the way, it is a justification to try and raise prices as the competition allows.

+1 on this and 1KW's response!

This is how google translates the page introduction for me:

"Look at the new mystery of art revitalization to the extraordinary beauty that the musical sound plays, the elegance that smells .
"Xs" - Icon of brand immortality, K series
finally to the third movement."

Man, my K-03X isn’t even broken in yet. I guess it will have to do.

I'm contemplating my Esoteric disc spinning options.
What are the pros and cons between, say, buying a K03Xs and operating it as a stand-alone player, against buying a P-05X transport and connecting it to the XLR input of my N01?
Another consideration, eventually I'd like to buy the D1X mono block - or whatever replaces D1. It's unfortunate that N01 doesn't have a digital output to connect to D1X.
