Loving my SACD Player
It has been a very long time since I have played a SACD as I normally stream music or play vinyl.
Today, I decided to spin a few discs on my Esoteric K-01x. I had forgotten just how well this unit performs bringing out all the magic a SACD has to offer. :D |

SACD sounds unbelievably palpable on the K-01X. It's giving my wallet bad thoughts... I was playing with the DSD filter and in my system, "on" sounds incredibly better than "off." And it has nothing to do with the volume change between those two settings. Which sounds better in your system? |

Off for me as well

Just curious - what do you hear when you turn the dsd filter on?
"Off" in my system is kind of flat and cold sounding while "on" is three dimensional with gorgeous tonal saturation. Interestingly I hadn't noticed this to such a degree with my older speakers. |

Filters off

With the DSD filter 'on', I hear a more 'polite' sound with slightly less glare on some recordings, but with a loss of some of the improved micro detail that SACD brings to the table. Strangely, engaging the filter seems to increase the volume (which I adjust when comparing settings). On balance, I prefer 'off.' As George remarked, we seem to be hearing opposite settings.

Very interesting... thanks for explaining what you’re hearing with your filter choices.
