Esoteric K-01X

LOCAL SALE PREFERRED BUT NOT NECESSARY! This Esoteric K-01X was purchased new in Feb. 2018 from New York Sound & Vision and I purchased it from its original owner in June 2020. Only selling to move to streaming via a DAC Preamp, although you can run an external digital source into this unit and utilize its DAC. There is a ton of info & reviews online. It is a masterpiece of engineering and beautiful to behold, looking as if Thor constructed it with an eye to metal work aesthetics. My price includes insured shipping within CONUS and all payment fees. I have all original manual, boxes, shipping inserts and remote. The unit is pristine and functions perfectly. The boxes and packaging are in perfect shape and extremely well designed to protect this beautiful, beefy machine!

Four years after the release of the K-01-the world's leading all-in-one digital player-the new K-01X debuts as a more compact version of Esoteric's flagship Grandioso model. Utilizing the same type of highly rigid chassis construction as the Grandioso and a similar four-transformer power supply, it integrates the Grandioso P1's high-precision VRDS-NEO "VMK-3.5-20S" turntable with two independent monaural DAC units derived from the Grandioso D1 design, each configured with a parallel array of 8 individual converters, which are summed to optimize linearity and minimize noise.

Electronic circuitry has also been further improved with the latest technologies, including a new AK4495S DAC IC, an advanced 35-bit D/A processing algorithm, an HCLD buffer amp, a DSD-compatible USB interface, and a large, low phase noise clock, all ensuring the K-01X achieves the absolute pinnacle of sound quality.

Bear in mind that the shipping and payment fees will cost me a small fortune plus Audiogon fees. Those are built into the asking price. The shipping weight is close to 100lbs! Will discount for Local Sale! Either way, make an offer!

Thank you for looking! Best regards, Joel
