Esoteric X-05
So I am still very happy with this older X-05 - in recent comparison I even find it plays better than many streaming devices. I think it sounds really warm, smooth & even somewhat analog.
Now there`s "better", "different" and "personal taste" - I love vinyl and probably therefor love the warm analog sound the X-05 brings. My question - do newer models follow a similar sound direction and are they significantly better? Anyone compare? Best to ye all, Chris

Chris-
I have not made a comprehensive comparison, but I have played the X-05 next to the K-01XS. Now I have an updated K-01XHD, which sounds, for my listening preferences, better than my old K-01XS, the DCS Vivaldi One, and the MSB (Select Transport-Select DAC combination). However, these differences are slight, not earth-shattering, so I suggest that you listen to a K-01 and make your own decision. -Gerry |

Thanx for the reply - how big were the differences between the x-05 and the K-01xs… ?
