Key specs that matter
On CD the player covers 5 Hz to 30 kHz, keeps noise 113 dB below the signal and holds THD plus noise to 0.0007%, the same figures Esoteric quotes for the Grandioso K1X SE. Output impedance is higher than on that model, at 114 ohms from the balanced output and 34 ohms from the single-ended one. The chassis measures 445 x 162 x 438 mm, and at 31 kg the player is lighter than the Grandioso.
Pairing
Since it has XLR as well as RCA analogue outputs, the K-01XD SE suits amplifiers with either kind of input.
Alternatives
One step up, the Esoteric Grandioso K1X SE disc player offers the same rated bandwidth and noise figures.
