Esoteric K03XD

I have no issues with my K-03XD.  I had a Marantz ModWright player before the Esoteric.  The Esoteric is better in every way as it should be.  I don't find it bright or fatiguing and it will be my end game player / transport.  The only way to ship these is via freight on a pallet not through other methods wich can tumble the boxes and screw up the transport.  

I have an K01-X which offers various filter settings to adjust the sound. Nothing dry or sterile. Esoteric releases every 2 years a new product that is supposedly a breakthrough. Not fun if you own these units as the value loss is not to be underestimated. Assuming they are better every generation then we start from a very high quality and go up from there, meaning these will all be end game units with minor differences. I think this is a save buy from a highly respected brand.

Anyone compared the K-03XD to the K-05XD?

Mike at Suncoast audio responded on his Audio Shark forum.  The 05XD is close but the 03XD is superior.  I'm not exactly sure what this really means in terms of the actual sonic differences.

we are an esoteric dealer the line is going through a new se update so you may want to look at a new ko5xse although it is a model lower it will sound better witht he new updates
