Moving from the Esoteric P-05/ D-05 to the K-03

the KO3x is a very nice machine you will not be disappointed. the KO3x is the newer model and very different form the KO3. New chip set better dac.

....that's what I am hearing is that the ''X'' version is a significant improvement over the original model. That also includes the K-7x

Isn't is interesting that most digital Fans aren't still able after 25 years of marketing to get the difference between "different" and "better"?

The X-Version is an upgrade Board to enable DSD Streams. That's it. No better output stage, no higher data processor, nada, only DSD Streams. It is a 1000$ upgrade excl. shipping and can be done for every K-01, K-03...

HELLO Syntax - thank you for the update and there is little inforamtion out there on that X upgrade. With that inforamtion, I would have been able to discern what is in fact ; '' different '' and what is actully
'' better ''.
