The Esoteric K-07 is a Super Audio CD (SACD) and CD player designed to meet the highest standards of music lovers. It features the proprietary "VOSP" Super Audio CD transport mechanism for precise disc reading, and a 32-bit dual mono D/A converter combining multiple DAC circuits for superior sound quality. The player supports high sampling rate digital inputs including USB with asynchronous transmission up to 24-bit/192 kHz. It includes a high-precision voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) clock circuit to reduce jitter. Analog outputs include balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors, both delivering 2.45 Vrms output. Digital outputs include coaxial, optical, and USB. The frequency response extends from 5 Hz to 55 kHz, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 115 dB and total harmonic distortion of 0.0015% (SACD). The unit measures 445 x 131 x 358 mm and weighs approximately 14 kg (30 lbs). It comes with the RC-1301 remote control and was released around 2015. The K-07 is noted for its natural, unexaggerated sound reproduction and high build quality, including a large toroidal transformer and high-quality buffer circuits. It supports playback of SACD, CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. The product is still
