Angeboten wird „K01x“ von Esoteric als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „SACD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8014803167 endet am 25.06.2026 um 23:46 Uhr.
This looks fair-to-strong rather than cheap: €8,699 is well below the original €20,000 class pricing and comfortably under the usual premium-DAC/player territory for a K-01X, so it reads as a sensible used ask if the unit is genuinely clean and complete. For a flagship Esoteric, that’s a realistic buyer’s price, not an ambitious one.
The appeal is the usual Esoteric package: VRDS-heritage transport engineering, top-tier disc playback, and a very resolved, dense, dynamically punchy sound that owners prize for both CD and SACD. At this level, the upside is getting near-reference performance in a built-to-last chassis; just make sure the drawer/transport is smooth, all outputs work, and any remote, clock, or box extras are included, because those matter more on a player like this than cosmetic fuss.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Esoteric, a pinnacle of Japanese high-end audio engineering, emerged in 1987 as a dedicated brand under TEAC Corporation, building on decades of the parent company's expertise in audio innovation dating back to 1953. Born from Tokyo Television Acoustic Company's legacy, Esoteric was conceived to transcend conventional boundaries, channeling TEAC's vast experience into components that redefine sonic purity. Hand-assembled in its Tokyo factory, every piece reflects a relentless pursuit of excellence, merging cutting-edge technology with museum-quality craftsmanship.
The brand specializes in ultra-refined digital and analog source components, including Super Audio CD transports, high-resolution DACs, precision preamplifiers, and monoblock power amplifiers, as exemplified by its flagship Grandioso series. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, Esoteric focuses on core electronics that deliver unparalleled sound reproduction, with limited-edition models like the 2017 30th-anniversary black finishes underscoring its artisanal approach.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Esoteric commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for its "preeminent philosophy of sound appreciation" and timeless standards. It occupies a niche as a boutique icon of Japanese precision, where cost is no object and prestige is earned through superior acoustic engineering—recently solidified by its 2024 merger with TEAC, ensuring continued Tokyo-made dominance.
