Got it - and makes perfect sense!
What do you figure availability will be like on a K1 (ie how much longer do you think dealers could still get one)?

I even got a deal on K1 , lucky that I hold until HK show, it was the gut feeling that there might be something new.
By the way I am really don’t like the sound of disc clamping of current Esoteric, Both K05Xs or K1X. I remembered that P03 didn’t make such a plastic clamp sound.

Yes, I would have thought the new DAC and technology would make the new one a no-brainer.
Honestly the price increase and this operating sound (those types of things have the potential to be a dealbreaker to me) have me seriously thinking about selecting the ‘old’ model...am i crazy to do that??
