Esoteric Grandioso K1x SE ......when are they going to be available here in the US ?

Hello Audiogon members - I have been hearing a lot about this new one box player with the SE addition. I noticed on the Esoteric / TEAC USA site that these were available and being shipped in November of 2023. I have had some discussions with others and the date here in the US is floating around the late February time. What is the hold up and is it due to the '' new '' distributor here in the US for Esoteric ? I am surprised that a company such as Esoteric / TEAC is having once again distribution issues here in the US. If anybody has any information on this player and or what the true hold up is in getting these players to the US, it would be appreciated. Thank you .....

......just following up on this thread as I am the original OP. I am curious if anybody has hopefully received by now the Esoteric Grandioso SE CD player. I have not seen anything about this player anywhere. Things worked out for me as I ended up as I had noted with the Accuphase separates the DC DP 1000 and very happy but came real close to the Grandioso SE. So if any member took possession of this player drop a note and let me / us know what they think of the sound and where Esoteric is heading sonically with their players.

……why I want to call Music Direct ? My question was to see if anybody here at Audiogon had the player and what does it sound like ? I was not looking for a dealers opinion . Thank you just the same …..

……surprised that I have not seen many comments on Esoteric’s new SE edition on their products at least here in the US. Sorry Jafant nothing yet. I have noted that I was very seriously looking at the Grandioso SE but thankfully switched to the Accuphase separates the DC DP 1000 and very happy that I did . However I am still interested in the sonic characteristics of the new Grandioso SE.
