Eight years after the release of the K-01, the ultimate in integrated digital players, came 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 and 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.
I am the orig owner and have orig. multiple boxes and packing materials along with the remote and manual. This player is not quite 2 years old and while as a CD/SACD player it is superb, I think the DAC in this unit is outstanding and truly reference quality.
Feel free to ask any questions about this. Buyer to pay actual shipping costs and fees associated w the sale such as PayPal etc. Thanks for your interest.
Questions for the seller |

| Has this had the transport replaced since they are problematic in this model? Hi,
Thx for the question. I was totally unaware of any problem like this but started searching and found an answer on Agon blog which I'll copy below. I might say that previous to this model, I had an Esoteric P-03 transport which I had for approx 12 yrs. and never had any problems whatsoever. It always played accurately and eloquently.
here is the post by Arch12:
At Axpona this weekend I did ask the Esoteric folks about the jig alignment issue. They realize this is a real issue with customers. There response was this type of procedure only affects the older X series players. I asked if it was possible these transports could eventually be fixed in the states and for a number of reasons I still don’t quite understand (microscope, special jig table, expertise in Japan) those will still need to go to Japan. What they have started doing though is to remove the transport from the player in their California repair facility then ship only the transport to Japan reducing shipping costs. Wait time for completed repair will still be an issue albeit with reduced shipping costs. Hope that helps.
I have not had any issues with this player or the DAC and consider it to be about the best you can get.
Thanks again,
Tom |
