Thanks so much everyone! I'm really looking forward to the improvements the K-01 will bring to my system.
Dave - I am actually planning to get a WW Platinum USB cable in the not too distant future. I'll continue using my Cardas Clear USB for now. It's a very smooth and neutral cable but lacks some of the detail, transparency and soundstage of the higher end USB cables. Carlos - I will be using the K-01's variable linestage to drive the Pass monoblocks for awhile. Do you use the 0 db setting or +6 db setting with your Pass monoblocks? I could see potential advantages for either setting, +6 db for more power/control or 0 db for less attenuation on the digital volume. Jim - Your feedback on the K-01 was really helpful in my decision making process. Thanks! Best, Ken Last edited by PlanarSpeakerFan; 11-20-2013 at 11:14 PM. |

Ken - These settings work well for me (for the K-03):
- Slow Delay Filter 2 (S_DLY2) with the 4X upconversion rate (only applies to redbook CDs as SACDs always bypass these settings) - XLR out (+6dB), pin 2 hot to XA100.5 amps via 6-meter Tonik Kimber Kables You'll have lots of experimentation and trials to go through. |
