I have a K-03. I actually prefer with no conversion/upsampling and filtering for RBCD, at least for now. Still need to experiment a bit more. Also, strangely enough, I patched a Micromega CD transport to the Esoteric COAX input and I find this sounds slight better than playing the RBCD in the Esoteric drive with the same settings. But even that I am going back to no DSD conversion for 16 bits 44.1 kHz sources.
And Esoteric has changed how their players sounds: from memory the older X series sound more clinical than these "new" K series players.
