What clock cable will you run? Hands-down recommendation is a Shunyata SIGMA CLOCK50...to match the pure 50ohm 10 mHz output bank on the clock and proper impedance of the K1 clock input. FWIW, YMMV Congratulations....ENJOY!!! |

If you want to join TOGA and his K1, check out my listing in the marketplace for a mint, used K1

My bet is on a Grandioso K1x this year or next year.
And I would be tempted to consider one given how much people like the K1.

You are selling it while I am still excited by it on the first day. Should I try something else too ? Like CH D1. Toga |

I just got my Luxman D08u less than a month ago. I really liked it. I am selling Ayon CD35 Signature which is also very musical sounding. Esoteric K1 is vastly different from Luxman D08u or Ayon. I don't call it as " better", but an interesting alternative way to present musics. I will not sell Luxman, But I am thinking about also keeping K1 too. Clock is a later date option. Anyway the cable may be this Japanese cable http://www.saec-com.co.jp/product/dig-t50/ , it is cheaper for me. pls use Chrome to translate. K1 made all recordings sounded like closed-mike ones. all minute details emerged very loudly and clearly. sound of musician breathing, moving and changing note page all came out so loudly and clear, beyond realistic. It also sound like live, amplified performance, exciting sound. D08u is also highly detailed, but more laid back, relaxed and more mellow, more suitable for long hours listening. the tiny details form D08u is heard too as much as from K1 but at a much lower in level (more realistic ?) Also I read that P1X and D1X is MQA capable and can play MQA-CD too. with D1X confirmed MQA status when P1X play MQA-CD. Soon that will trickled down to many Esoteric players. I think I should wait, unless dealer offer me a good trade-in program in case K1X come too early after I get K1. Toga Last edited by TOGA; 08-08-2019 at 02:00 AM. |

The K1 as a single box player stands part from the crowd and plays at another level altogether (IMO). I will check out that cable...thanks! |
