We run the Esoteric K-05XD in store and can’t get enough of it. CD players are a thing of the past……until you hear this model. The Esoteric K-05XD oozes quality and is very much a luxury product with superb case work and a rock solid transport. With the added benefit of a DAC input you can feed a more basic streamer to the Esoteric and gain the best of both worlds. If you still want more then you can add a clock to this CD player – after that Esoteric have the K-03XD SE and the quite glorious K-01XD SE. We have the K-01XD SE, K-05XD and clocks in stock. If  you are looking to improve your CD playback give us call – 0131 466 6596 – we know these models through and through. 

Uncompromising quality refined with flagship technology.
Beautiful styling. High-quality sound worthy of the term “high-end”.
The core model of Esoteric Super Audio CD players,
the K-05, is finally available in an XD edition.
The design platform is completely revamped and now features VRDS-ATLAS
and Master Sound Discrete DAC / Clock circuitry.
This is an arrival of a completely new Super Audio CD player.

The first K-05 model was introduced in 2011, evolved into the K-05X in 2015,
and K-05Xs in 2018. It has become the best-selling model at the heart of
the Esoteric K Series. The K-05XD inherits the philosophy of the historic K-05 series
but is totally edesigned as a Super Audio CD player; completely different from
the previous 05 models by way of revamping it with an all-new design platform.
