There are not many SACD/CD/DAC players still in production and many would claim that this is one of the finest ever produced. Even beyond the transport, the integrated DAC can compete with the very best. Check out the many rave reviews on the Internet.

State of the art design choices include the well celebrated Esoteric VRDS NEO VMK 3.5-20S transport, the Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation 32-bit AK4495S DAC IC, and the MUSES 02 operational amplifier. Fully independent power transformers and power supply circuits are employed for each channel.

The K-01X DAC utilizes 8 parallel/differential circuits with 16 outputs driving each channel. All of this adds up to a true dual mono configuration that achieves outstanding linearity and minimal distortion. The K-01X combines these multiple 32-bit DAC chipsets and utilizes a 35-bit D/A processing algorithm to convert the PCM signal to analog at a high resolution in excess of 32 bits. Esoteric claims that 35-bit processing achieves a resolution that is fully 2048 times that of 24-bit processing.

68 pounds unboxed and 100 pounds boxed of superb design and over engineering.
