| V-Ray v.2 or Running Springs Jaco or Audience I did compare (in my system) RSA Jaco latest and latest Audiece AR6-TS with au24 powrchord. With Jaco, my System sounded more open and more extended. Both did not limit dynamics so. May be audience AR6 can be improved if used with another power co... | |
| Entire system cable recommendation Bo1972Agree on purist, but in order to get to the stunning results with purist you have to get into at least proteus provectus model range. This is were magic starts. But this is very pricey even with good dealer discounts, they cost a lot, not ac... | |
| Entire system cable recommendation Rodrigoeliedson , try KCI cables, their silkworm + ICs are very good cables. Their owner is great person to deal with. KCI also makes great power cords and speaker cables. The whole loom may cost you no more than $5000. I sold my top level Hidiamo... | |

| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth,yes I did, and to me it is about 80-90% of K-01, I think K-03 is currently represent a sweet spot in esoteric line. You will happy with it and yes the digital volume control on K-03 has the same implementation as on K-01, it is just... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? AudiolabyrinthFirst of all esoteric k-01 as well as K-03 uses katest AKM 4399 32 bit DACs - more advanced than burr-brown 1792 . K-01 uses 8 dacs per side and K-03 4 dacs per side. Comparing K-01 with ayon cd5s, I heard taller and deeper sounstage... | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control This seem to be a popular topic nowadays since quality of DACs keeps getting better.I can agree with Edorr and I can agree with Oferi. In my case and in my system where I run esoteric K-01 direct to Krell 302E, the use of ARC 5se did not bring the... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Hi Audiolabyrinth,Yes I did own ayon 5s with upgraded tubes and did run it direct to krell. The overall sound threw huge soundstage but has been missing some focus and refinement and also had some noise because of its high gain on the output.I hat... | |
| what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ? Audiolabyrinth, I use Esoterick K-01 dirct to my krell 302e. Great sound. I tried ARC REF 5 and esoteric own c-03 and preffered esoteric k-01 direct for its more intimate and more refined (purer) sound. The key is amplifier input impendance needs ... | |

| Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD? Matjet, I have K-01 and still go thru the same choices. For a while I settled with well burned-in 4x and S_DLY1 combo. The 2x is also good (sometimes sound more natural than 4x) but 4x is more dynamic and results in bigger soundstage. But recently... | |
| Accuphase or Esoteric? Never heard Accuphase, but esoteric k-01 is great player. Besides having great red book and SACD playback, its a great DAC and very good pre-amplifier. It is about 15% better than K-03 in sound. But one need great speakers and amplifier to really ... | |
