I feel the same. It's obscenely good. Sometimes I just giggle when I am listening.

Has anyone upgraded fuses in their K1 yet?

I had great results upgrading to SR Red and then to SR Black in my previous Esoteric gear so assume the K1 could similarly benefit?

Cheers

How do you open an Esoteric SACD player? What size fuse?

Hi Ariess=,

Sorry I don't know exactly, but I assume K1 is opened through fixings in the steel base plate as there are zero visible fixings from top side of top plate of course.

Esoteric normally have quite a few fuses – well at least my P03/D-03/G-0s did!

Cheers

Very nice. :thumbsup:
But, I would give some consideration to giving that Bryston amp some room to breath. Looks like tight fit.

That’s a temporary placement. I have some new racks on order. Also, that amp is a 5 channel that powers my surround speakers. It’s not used very often, and never at the same time as the DAC.

Congrats Kyle ! That is an awesome player ! Especially with that dac in it, you struck gold !

Congratulations Kyle! Enjoy that puppy!!

Is the clock in K1 better than the clock in G02X?
Or in other words, any likely benefit in using K1 with G02X, or just use it as a stand-alone player?

Congrats Kyle, what an amazing product you own!
As Ivan says i recommend you to put a few HRS DPX damping plates on top of the K1.
I have three of the biggest ones over my K-03X and the results are excellent.
Enjoy friend
