Hi Michael,
I didn’t swap one for the other. I sold off the Esoteric, along with most of my system, almost 2 years ago and re-built a new system this year as I lost my dedicated room (my girls each needed their own room). A good deal came along for a used 808v6 (808.3 upgraded) from my dealer and I went that route. Regarding the K01X, there wasn’t anything I did not like sonically. It was a sublime piece. My only complaint was I learned I didn’t like mixing silver with my McIntosh system.
