Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?


The Esoteric K01 has several up-conversion and filter options for CD play-back. Unfortunately, each up-conversion option and each filter option requires approximately 500 hours of 'break-in' to sound it's best. I have owned the Esoteric K01 since it's release. It is a superb SACD and CD player. I have 'broken in' some but not all filter and up-conversion settings. I am still unable to decide which combination I like best. I am currently using S_DLY1 (for digital filter) and 2Fs (for up conversion). I would like to know what settings other Esoteric K01 owners like best. It would be helpful if If you can explain why those settings sound better to you than other combinations. I wonder which settings the experts at Esoteric/Teac would recommend?

Flashunlock,
This thread is getting very interesting. So much diversity in the choice of filters. Just curious, what amp and speakers do you have in your system?

Jon2020,

I have the Krell Evo-1 and Evo-2, speakers being B&W 800 Diamond and 2 x Velodyne DD-18 subs. I also run a Mio La Clock 10 MHZ clock with the K-01.
Flashunlock,
That's one heck of a system you got there. And the only thing that you have that most others who have posted here do not is the Mio La Clock. So, with this clock, your preference for DSD is now understandable.
Can you please detail the difference in sound quality with and without the clock? Thanks in advance.
@ flashunlock, do you mean, the evo and evo E series amps?, LoL!, I love bass too!, the 18 subs is awsome!, very much so useing krell amps!, I have one of krells older model amps, the krell 700cx, I love the mid-range of this amp, spectacular for solid state!,, Go Krell!
@Audiolabyrinth,
mmh.. I think Flash was referring to Krell's top line, amp Evo.1 and pre Evo.2. ;)

@Flashunlock,
Noticed from older threads you were using all Tara Cobalt ac cords before? How/in what ways do they differ from your current Siltech Ruby DC? Thanks.
