Taking Sound to the X Dimension
X is the unknown. "X" in a model name symbolizes the ultimate advancements of technology, craftsmanship and creative commitment.A New Pinnacle of Sound Quality
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.Compatible disc types (playback) | Super Audio CD, CD (including CD-R and CD-RW) | |
