I met Esoteric design team on K1X public demonstration
Event in Osaka not long ago. I shared this opinion to him.
The answer was quite surprising. He said because the
Remote control software/hardware is old, cannot reprogrammed. But this was from a conversation between Japan-English and Thai-English. He also mentioned that there is one key different bet ween K1X and K1 besides those that most already know. It is about the sound level difference between DSD and PCM. The K1x now has same sound level between SACD and Cd.
But still, there is one setting in the menu to lower PCM output level by 6dB. So I am not sure if I remembered this right. It could be the other way around.
Now, I have to explore all the up conversion options and PCM filter options. Too many possibilities. Better stay with ORIG.
But from Luxman I found that filter 2 or Slow made it sound more liquid and tube like, at slight loss of low level details. I will try this on Esoteric later.
