- When using the K-05X asa USB DAC, does the display indicate the sample rate for DSD eg 2.8 or 64, 5.6 or 128 etc?
- Will the display indicate whether the input is Native DSD or DoP?
- Is the USB connection Galvanically isolated? - My dealer indicated the USB is on a separate board so this looks promising
- My dealer only has the K-05 on display not the X version. The front tray Cap (with Esoteric VRDS Neo printed on it has changed from the K0-5 to the K0-5x) Could you confirm the cap part is made out of Aluminum rather than plastic on the K-05x?
