Couldn't leave well enough alone!!!
My dealer had a KO1x which I looked at several times. I decided to take it home New Year's Eve. No surprise it's found a new home. To this point I was quite happy with my KO5, but to put it mildly the KO1x blows it away in every aspect. As an added bonus it makes my Lumin U1 sound better too. I'm very excited and thrilled with this belated Xmas gift. Santa is GOOD

Congrats on your K01x. I am sure it will bring a big smile every time you play it. I love mine and can’t ever seeing it being replaced. It does everything. It is truly an amazing unit.

Tom.......Congratulations on an excellent upgrade. The Esoteric K-01X is a formidable digital playback component. I upgraded from a K-03 to the K-01X and absolutely love mine. If you haven't had a chance to read my Esoteric K-01X Review , you may find it interesting.

For the past year I have been enjoying my K-01X with no upconversion or filters. I have settled on those setting as providing excellent reproduction of the source material. The original bit rate is sampled at its original format without alteration. On occasion I have returned to 2Fs, 4Fs, and 8Fs upconversion but find myself preferring the ORG setting where the original input signal is sent directly to the D/A converter without upconversion. The same has been true for the filter. I have played with them but find the filters set to Off are the most satisfying. Having choices is a good thing. Being able to override them is equally essential.
