I’ve been listening to my K-03 for nearly a year now and honestly I’m more impressed with how it plays my CD’s than the dozen or so SACD’s I’ve purchased.
The good ones I’ve bought aren’t rehashed old Rock or Pop reissues I wasted my money trying. Yes, I’ve tried several Jazz recordings including Patricia Barber that were outstanding.
Any Suggestions are appreciated 👍
New Esoteric K-03XD
Just bought this SACD Player a month ago.
It took me a while to get into the hidden menu.
It sounded great with CD’s, amazing actually.
I tried it with 2 SACD’s I had lying around.
One was a Sony Demo, the other a SACD from a friend.
They sounded great, but not as good as my good CD’s.
I bought a few more, all remastered old recordings.
I was disappointed.
There was a review on The Absolute Sound about a similar Esoteric.
The reviewer said when it was set to “default” it wasn’t overwhelming.
He went into the hidden menu and changed some settings.
Today, I started experimenting.
I'm glad I did.
I'm listening to “Trinity Sessons” on CD, by the Cowboy Junkies.
I've never heard it sound this good !
The reason for the post is, have anyone else changed those settings, and which ones.
