My question was more focused on the facts I have the impression that members of AA are more interested in MBK or an Esoteric. So would a K01X better than a Rossini? I would to get a precise idea before changing.

I am very happy with my choice of the Rossini. I have not had the K01x nor a Grandioso in my set-up so I cannot comment. I am sure these are excellent units and attract many supporters. If they were currently MQA ready I might have considered them for a audition.
I have had the K01 and D03/P03 plus clock in my set-up and neither bettered the 808v6 except in industrial design. The MSB IV did challenge the Meridian but in the end the additional cost for that set-up was a bit much and the industrial design was not for me. The MSB Select II is amazing but there is no way I will pay close to $100k for a DAC.
I will wait a bit before I add the clock to my set-up and also might try the Vivaldi plus Bridge to see how it compares in my room to the Rossini.
I can tell you that you will be happy whether you choose the Rossini or a K01x.
