Esoteric K-01 XD Super Audio/CD player
Esoteric K-01 XD Super Audio/CD player
The Esoteric K-01 XD sits at the top of the main Esoteric SACD/CD player range. Only the models in the Grandioso range outperform it. The Esoteric K-01 xD features battleship build quality. Disc spinning is via the mighty VRDS Atlas mechanism. Conversion is done by the brand new Master discreet DAC.
The K-01 is a substantial machine weighing in at over30KG. A substantial amount of this weight is down to the massive Atlas VRDS transport that the K-01 XD uses. Another contributing factor are the four toroidal transformers that supply the different sections of the player. Having different power supplies for different sections of the player provides greater isolation from noise on the circuits that really need it and gives the player state of the art performance.
The new Esoteric XD components feature a brand new discreet DAC circuit. This can be utilised by other components via the digital inputs on the K-01XD. This could be a streamer or other digital source component.
The player can be upgraded further by the addition of an external Master clock such as the G-01X. This moves the performance of the player on yet further.
