Esoteric K-01

Has anybody had an opportunity to listen to the recently announced Esoteric K-01? I was also wondering about the price. Thanks

This design might have a 'normalizing' effect on C-03, as X-03 output is transformed into single ended no matter what. It might be interested to drive a symmetrically balanced pre that has both XLR and RCA inputs... with X-03 and see what happens. Saluti, Guido
