The manual states to wait 1-2 hours to warm up from a cold to warm environment, so I haven't play a disc yet. However, I have connected my Linn DS streamer (via optical out) to the K-03 and running direct to my amplifier.

Straight out of the box I'm totally blown away. Immediately I noticed higher level of detailing in the music, imaging was more focused and solved this annoying problem I've been trying to figure out (another story but in short, left channel was reading 10x more power than the right, now they read the same, definitely equipment related).

So far I am very pleased with the K-03, and it appears it will get better in 500 hours or so. It also helps having a stress-free dealing with Ivan.

Best, Brian
welcome to AA and the Esoteric K03 legion of SACD enjoyment!

Brian and Budt welcome to the K-03 Club. With about 200 hours on mine it keeps getting better. I haven't played any vinyl since I bought it. My CD's and SACD's are sounding new again.
