Default My new Esoteric K-03

For those interested

I received my Esoteric K-03 a few days ago. It easily bests the other digital sources I've tried in my system over the last 18 months which include Bryston BDA-1, Invicta Dac, Weiss 202 and Meitner MA-1. In fact it is an order of magnitude better than any of those mentioned. I am one very satisfied customer. It's hard to believe the K-01 can improve upon this as what I am hearing sounds absolutely stunning.
The rest of the system is comprised of the latest B&W 800 diamonds, Bryston 7B SST2 mono blocks and Bryston BP26 preamp.

Congratulations. New gear that exceeds your expectations always creates that audio "high". Old familiar discs sound new and fresh again.
