In Reply to: New SACD Players: Esoteric K-05 and K-07 posted by Doktor Brahms on August 13, 2012 at 07:59:58:
Apart from some cosmetic differences on the front panel, the only other thing that seems to set these two Esoteric players apart is the choice of Asahi Kasei 32-bit DACs. The K-05 uses a newer AK4399 while the K-07 has the older AK4392.
I'm interested in impressions as well, specially as to whether the K-05's DAC is truly worth the $2,400 difference over its sibling.
