A NEW GOLD STANDARD IN DIGITAL PLAYERS
Eight years after the release of the K-01, the ultimate in integrated digital players, comes the birth of the K-01Xs, a condensed version of Esoteric’s flagship Grandioso model.
The K-01Xs features the K series’ classic construction with a high-rigidity chassis and a total of four power transformers in the power section, along with the high-precision VRDS-NEO[VMK-3.5-20S]turntable system used in the Grandioso P1/K1 and a pair of differential 8-circuit/channel monaural DACs following the latest DAC platform developed for the K1.
Its extensive specifications are the gold standard in digital players, including the latest DAC (IC AK4497), a 35-bit D/A processing algorithm developed with Esoteric’s patented proprietary technology; an HCLD buffer amplifier; DSD-compatible USB and a large custom low phase noise clock.
