LooseLeaf.......You will not regret owning an Esoteric K-03. The SACD and CD playback on the K-03 is exceptional and the ability to use the DAC with USB, Coaxial, and optical digital inputs provides you with the ability to use a server in the future should you decide to grow your system in that direction. I have two K-03's, one each in two different systems. The Esoteric K-03 is a fabulous audio component.
Those who chatter about the death of the CD are usually those who have a stake in some other format they hope to profit from. CD and SACD are alive and well. Being able to take full advantage of the CD and SACD formats with a component like the Esoteric K-03 should have that player/DAC at the top of your "must own" list.
