Here is good Esoteric story. I wrote to the headquarters in Japan and told them how much I wish my player had a shuffle function. So they added it to the next firmware update. That is great service!

I like seeing manufacturers that listen to their customer base and implement their ideas. Well done, Esoteric.

Default New K-01XD and 03XD SACD/CD Players released

I have read some glowing impressions of the Grandioso K1X with the PS1 from some in Hong Kong who have heard most Esoteric players. They say these are game changers and in the same league as the DCS Vivaldi stack.

Hello guys!
I want to change my digital source.
My Doubt is:
1.- Esoteric K-03XD + streamer
2.- Esoteric N-01XD + transport

Or go to the "other side" and go for Luxman D-10X + streamer.

My budget, 20-25
Right now the chain is 2A3 tube amp and Klipsch Conrwalls.

Thanks, be safe!
