This beauty also arrived today. I brought it home to break in to compare to K-03XD. I have the PS1 coming and the Cybershaft Clock + PSU.

So far, this is better than the K-03XD right out of the box. Layered, effortless, relaxed, detail. The K-03XD is no slouch, but wow!!! this is another league. Can’t wait to hear it with the PS1 and clock. I want to assess in stages to see what makes what differences.

What a beautiful player. Can't wait to hear the K01XD.

Added the PS1 today. It was like going from a stereo amp to monos. More bass authority, more dynamics, more low resolution details.

Great Pic Mike. What speakers and cable are using with Esoteric? Can we have full system pic?
 
With the high end level of power cables and power distribution/conditioning I assume you're running...isn't this sort of belt & suspenders? And a hell of an expensive pair of suspenders.

You mean the PS1?

Yes, it basically triples the power supply for the K1X.

I would rather spend the money on the Esoteric Grandioso PS1 than on the Grandioso G1 Master Clock, which basically alters the sonic signature. It looks like a no brainer to me.
