Esoteric K-05 is out...
Looks like the Esoteric K-05 is out. This is a replacement for the X-05, only it now has 3 digital inputs to allow it to serve as an outboard DAC as well which the X-05 did not have, and the latest in the line of Esoteric CD/SACD players with digital inputs like the K-01 and the K-03. I believe the MSRP in the US is $8,300. Here is a link to Esoteric Japan's website (as the K-05 has not been uploaded on Esoteric USA's website yet): ESOTERIC Super Audio CD/CD Player K-05 | ESOTERIC COMPANY

Dan...the one time I heard an Esoteric player was some 5 years ago. It was the X-01 (I forget the full model designation) and I thought it sounded great. Maybe with a touch of digititis but all-in-all a great player. I am interested in hearing feedback about the new K-series players. I know TAS thought the K-03 was very good but I would prefer to hear feedback from owners.
