Based on you guys' enthusiasm for the K-01 I am about to order one. But I read the review on The Audio Beat by Roy Gregory and he had some qualms about it. Are his criticisms valid? I ask because I have a lot of Classical music SACDs. How does it compare to the Playback Designs MPS-5, for example, which gets excellent reviews? I don't believe reviews blindly and prefer to trust my own experience but that won't be possible with this purchase.
