Obviously I won't buy the Esoteric for that particular usage only,as I am also looking for a SACD/ player but in some situations I would like to use an external DAC ( which doesn't have any usb input ) .

How's that possible? I don't think esoteric has digital throughout reclocking like your mutec(at least my K03 doesn't).

Considering that the K series, and the following X and xs series have very similar (same?) case and layout, it's a pity that there's no way to do a full upgrade with replacement components.

Repost of the upgrade plan in Japan:
http://www.esoteric.jp/products/vup/index.html
K-01X -> K-01Xs: JPY350,000
K-03X -> K-03Xs: JPY280,000

I suppose it may be higher for the rest of the world...

You can use the URL to Google the site and use the translate feature. I've not heard of an announcement applicable to the US.

Yes, you're right, but my original K-03 can only be partly (USB section only) upgraded to K-03x status, so there's no way it can become a full K-03xs.

Okay who's going first? So that is what $3500.00 will buy you?

I would be happy to go first if we ‘crowd fund’ the cost.

$3k for the upgrade? You're better off buying a new one and selling the old one.

It seems we are all on the same wavelength. I'm happy with my K-01X.
