Esoteric K-03X:

????? mmbl62: Your last 2 posts are partial and we cannot know what your question is....please post again.

I think my computer has something wrong in m y last 2 posts, now I try again.

As we know the hybrid SACD has two layer, one later is SACD, another layer is normal audio CD. Many SACD player can choose which layer to play.  For example, Accuphase DP-720 AND DP-550 has a function called  “Read Area”. However, it seem like my Ex-CDP (X-03SE) does not have this function, it can only read the SACD layer.  I couldn’t found this function showing in my user manual. Also I couldn’t found this from the setting mode. My question is if my new CDP K-03X can choose which layer play?  Is it from the mode setting? Or only the top model K-01X has this function?

Hello mmb1622
Yes with your new Esoteric K-o3x you can choose the layer you want to play. But not on the fly. the manually that comes with it will tell you how and how to set up.

All Esoteric players and transports  I have either owned or demo-ed (DV-50S, X-03, X-01, UX-3, UX-1, P03, P02, etc...) allow you to select SACD or CD layer as the default. Look for 'Play Area' button on the Esoteric remotes or '2ch/Multi-ch' in the internal config menus....
