+1 on this...hope Esoteric flows thru, otherwise for me it comes down to the W20 in lead position or Lampizator Superkomputer with dual AES output board, clock input option and other upgrades.

You make some really good points but I can't answer that question without a call to my dealer. So far, I have only used the USB output and I couldn't be happier. The K-01X does not support duel AES/EBU and I haven't used the SPDIF yet. I'm still slowly breaking in the W20 before I can seriously comment on the sound compared to the spinner. So far...no buyers remorse. |

Thanks Mark!
I never thought I would buy a streamer and now I wonder how I lived without it. Sometimes I stare at the conductor app and wonder what I'll play next out of 40 million tracks. The W20 has changed the way I think about this hobby/passion. The K-01X is such an amazing piece but I never actually thought it could be my last spinner until now. I find myself investigating standalone DACs now when a year ago I would have considered a K1 or P-02X & D-02X combo. I know you're a spinner too but just some food for thought. |

I think you will really enjoy the W20 and would not expect any remorse. Overtime you can test whether spdif connection with synced clocks between DAC and W20 sounds better than usb. either way I am sure it sounds great. I have tried a lot of variations and have never warmed to USB....but many use it. good news is you can try both and pick what you like....which is all that matters. Again congrats and enjoy Last edited by enatai252; 01-18-2017 at 03:20 PM. |

You are correct! The clock in the DAC is used with a USB connection. So i'll order another Transparent Digital coax and will report back with the G-01 in play. I can't thank you enough for pointing this out!! Dave |
