A new pinnacle of sound quality
The brand-new K-01X is a scaled-down version of the Esoteric flagship model Grandioso. It was launched four years after the release of the world’s most advanced all-in-one digital player ─ K-01. It adopts the same high-rigidity body structure and four A transformer power supply, combined with the high-precision VRDS-NEO "VMK-3.5-20S" turntable of the Grandioso P1, inherits the design of the Grandioso D1, with two separate dual-group single DAC circuits, each of which is configured in parallel. A converter can optimize linearity and minimize noise.
The circuit part is also greatly upgraded with new technology, including the new AK4495S DAC IC, advanced 35-bit digital analog processing algorithm, HCLD buffer amplifier circuit, DSD compatible USB interface, and large low phase noise clock, all It is to ensure that K-01X can reach the new peak of sound quality.
The sound that rises to the X dimension
X is an unknown symbol. Engraving "X" into the name symbolizes a new level of technology, craftsmanship and innovation
The highly appreciated K-01 and K-03, as the leading models of Esoteric all-in-one SACD players, their superb music performance capabilities have still deeply fascinated listeners.
Now, the brand new "X" series inherits the pure pedigree, and these characteristics are quenched in the brand new K-01X and K-03X SACD players. Condensing beauty into one is the characteristic of Esoteric''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s flagship series Grandioso. Using the concepts and technology in the High-End digital player, it has unveiled a new dimension of music appreciation that you have never experienced before.
