The sound I'm now getting from N01 after firmware update is nothing short of a revelation. I'm so pleased I bought it instead of K01X. Everything works with no surprises. Or rather, there has been one surprise. Spotify playback via network sounds better than playing the same CD. I'm spending 5+ hours per day in-front of N01 and I'm consistently getting better sound from Spotify than spinning the same on a CD.
Another thing, the book says G02X clock takes about 10 minutes to warm up, but my listening suggests it takes about an hour for the N01/G02X system to start sounding its best from a cold start.
I was contemplating buying Gradioso K1 before the price rise, but I see no reason for spinning CD again.
