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

Allowed CD player portion to burn-in for 30 days and it made a huge difference. Now burning-in the USB and Toslink stages. Have compared single-ended to balanced XLR but cannot hear a differnece (AU-24e). Could not afford the K-01 so did not audition. The K-03 is one heavy S.O.B. You will not feel cheated.

Do you really think its worth the upgrade and much higher price? Please list all the improvements you noticed moving up to the K-03. Much appreciated. Thanks! Joe
