Esoteric K-03 or K-01

Hi John, I always used K-01 always with its transport: I never used the USB input option, hence I did not install the drivers on my PC. Guido

Denon1,
I am confused. Are you the same Denon1 that told us you sold your K03 because you said it had noise problems and bought another brand and never looked back?
Maybe I am remembering wrongly.
I remember telling that Den
Regards.

......I remember telling that Denon1 how quiet I thought Esoterics were, and how wonderful they sound.

Anyway, if you are getting the K01 you are on for a treat!

Mike60, yes it is me, but than I talked to some technical people and was told, that noise issue may be related to brake in period and I need to spin it off at least 500 hours, bottom line I bought esoteric (this time again k-01). When I opened this thread, I new how k-03 sound, but needed know much better K-01 is. Well, after having K-01 in my system for about 300 hours I would say it is around 10% better in my system, may be some more (depends on the cd quality) and if one have highly resolving system it makes sense to go with K-01, but for medium level system the K-03 is awesome and even if it makes noise in the beginning it may go away after some hours, if not one should contact esoteric, their shave a different management team know and they provide great service and really take of the customers.

Sorry, made a typo, I was going to say that Esoteric have a different management team now and they provide with a great service and really take care of their customers.
