The K-01X brought my sound to a level never achieved in my room. Where do we go from here to hear a profound difference? Full stack Grandioso? DCS stack? With these players, its probably not better just different IMO.

Dave,
I was have the luck to try in an A/B comparison, same ULTRA HIGH END system, same cd's and sacd's in both, a K-03X and a Grandioso Full Stack in my last vacations in Paris last year.
With a red book cd's i really was need to make an effort to listen the differences between this two beasts, with sacd the differences are more noticeables but in any case is a day and night difference.
This demo help me A LOT to make mi decision and finally i buy 3 months ago a brand new K-03X, in my oppinion one of the most clever way to spend your money.With this player you can have almost the 95% of the Grandioso Full Stack performance for a fraction of the money
