Esoteric sure has expanded their products aggresively in the last 2 years.
I passed on the D02x and the K1 was asking way above it's value, especially for the many owners of k01, k01x.
A move to the N01, hmmmm .... i should have gotten something like an msb or dcs gear, which cost double.
Analysing acquiring the N01, futher thinking, it's actually a brilliant marketing move, now i get a streamer, hook up my k01x to it and esentially get a k1 with a bonus, a good deal and keeps me up to date, lovin' it.
I don't like the idea of trading my K01x for half or even less, it's still a fantastic unit.
I will wait to see if it is fully MQA complaint, i do not believe it will be as esoteric are not listed in the MQA as a manufacturer partner.
By taking a non MQA compliant dac section to the N01, it will be left for the N-01X and that's what i will really want
