ESOTERIC ⸜ K-01XD

The sound of the Esoteric K-01XD player is exceptionally refined. It offers everything that we expect from a top sound source, whether analog or digital one. It is both warm and precise, and such a combination is extremely rare. It’s performance is very high end turntable-like. This is literally one of the best, that is: the best sounding and best-built digital players I have heard in my life.

Default K-03xd and DSD native

I received my K-03xd and I'm very happy with it, with only a couple hours of listening.

But, I'm also a little puzzle as I can't play DSD native with it ?!?

What am I missing?

Much appreciated your help

I think more information is needed.
What are you sending DSD files from?
What input are you trying to send them to?

Sure.

Files came from Aurender N20 through USB.
On Aurender compatibility list, Esoteric K-03 is included.
On Aurender app I receive the error message "DAC doesn't support DSD native"

DSD256 goes through, maybe DoP, but on Esoteric screen appears DSD 11.2
DSD512 doesn't play...

Native DSD from USB input works on Windows, or compatible streamers such as Esoteric N-03T or Lumin U1.

Mac does not support native DSD - only DoP.

Assuming both components have the latest firmware updates and you've tried resetting defaults and starting from scratch with both components, I'd probably reach out to Aurender since the specs of the Esoteric suggest that it should accept the DSD files you're sending.

I'm expecting in the coming hours remote Aurender access to check what's happening.
Keep you posted
