Congrats Dan, looks great! Really looking forward to hearing a review. I'm fascinated by how digital products can sound different.
Marc.......Thank you. Yes, the K-03 has three feet screwed to the bottom of the case. Esoteric calls these pin-point feet and the manual states they are designed to effectively damp and reduce vibration. I left these feet attached to the bottom plate of the K-03, then place the four Stillpoints Ultra Mini's between the front factory feet, with the two rear Ultra Mini's aligned with the two in the front. The Stillpoints replaced four Rollerblock Jr's I had previously used under the K-03.

Thank you!

Looking good Dan! Just wanted to point out I just bought several Ultra Mini's and I read each can support up to 50 lbs, so four can hold up to 200 lbs. What's crazy is the Ultra SS's each support up to 1000 lbs.!

Glenn.......Thanks for the clarification on the weight capacity of the Stillpoints Ultra Mini's.

I stayed up until 2:00 AM listening to the Aurender N10. It is astonishing. I am playing it 24/7 on repeat to speed up the break-in process. I'll be listening to it more today.

Dan... The Aurender N10 is a beautiful component and looks fabulous in your system. Have a great time becoming acquainted and admiring it from your couch with a big smile. Happy listening.

Matt.......
Bart.......

Thank you gentlemen. The view from my couch has definitely been improved. The studio system has never sounded better.

28 hours of break-in and counting.
