I thought the filters are available on cd. sacd and all inputs?

Four Types of Digital Filters and a Filter OFF Mode Four types of digital filter can be freely selected for PCM signal processing. Besides two FIR digital filters, which have an established reputation for providing outstanding sound quality, two types of short delay digital filters are also included for a more precise and natural sound. All four digital filters for both PCM and DSD can be bypassed by selecting the Digital Filter Off mode.

PS anyone use or try this? High-Quality Sound File Playback for AnyoneWindows/Mac Application for 5.6MHz DSD and 384kHz PCM Audio File Playback.ESOTERIC HR Audio PlayerAvailable free for download from the Esoteric website.
The Esoteric HR Audio Player, for both Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, is a high-quality audio playback
application that ably handles high-resolution audio sources when used in combination with the K-01X/K-03X players.
Superb audio quality playback of high-resolution audio sources, including DSD, can be enjoyed without complicated

Adam,
I've been out of town and missed this post. Congrats on the K01x!! I hope you like what you're hearing now because it just gets better and better. Redbook sounds like SACD now and SACD becomes unreal. I noticed your Norah Jones sacd in the picture you posted. IMO it is really well done!!

Dave

I couldn't imagine any harm from turning the K03X I received up on it's side, but when the delivery guy saw the 'tilt tells', he insisted on the fork lift delivery device, went down to the end of the street to get the ramped (no curb) access to the sidewalk, and wheeled it on up to my front door from there.

Curious to hear what you select for your filter/upsampling settings. As others have said, I don't think these apply to SACD, though.

The K-01X sounds so good and I started hearing things I never heard before and I started wondering how much better could it get by adding an Esoteric Rubidium G-01 Master Clock? Unfortunately I wondered out loud and Ivan heard me. So now it looks like I will be adding a G-01 to the mix...

At least I can finally check off Rubidium in my collection of Elements on the Periodic Table I own.

Hmmm..I just woke up with a terrible hangover and I found a crumpled note in my handwriting that just says, "Ivan Clock"...I hope I didn't do anything rash while I was intoxicated! I'll check with Ivan.

Too late now. Congratulations on your new player. I need to stay off of this website. I am trying to hold off on buying a new player. You are not helping!!!
