[#24] Esoteric K03 櫃桶開唔出問題    
Csum123 ching when I upgrade from X05 to K03 the SQ improvement was HUGE (it was night and day).

I later upgraded to K03x and the improvement is still very significant.

I believe the latest K03xs should be able to offer further improvement but it may be incremental.

I don't know about your upgrade budget but you may also want to take a look at used K03x as well if new K03xs is over your budget and you don't mind used gear.

Happy listening :)

#22 MLfans, thanks for sharing

My X-05 is very stable for years except the laser head aging. Anyway, look like I need to upgrade my X-05 with 10M clock to next level, I like the sound of X-05, will go out to audio shops to compare the sound differences between the K03x and X05. Oh....$$$

#20 Csum123 ching,

I'm sorry to hear about your issue with X05.

I can't figure out from "TRAVERSE VMK-5" exactly what has been replaced. I guess it is not the whole VMK-5 drive mechanism (replacement cost should be around $6000) but possibly the sub-assemble containing the laser head, shafts and stepper motor to move the laser head horizontally to track and read CDs.

My friend used to have a K05x but had problems (jump tracks) with the drive reading CDs. Sometimes the drive did not stop rotating before ejecting the CD. DCH C-Fu has tried to fix it but ended up having to replace the whole VMK-5 drive free of charge under warranty. After fixing it my friend upgraded to K03xs.

It appears to me that the VMK-5 drive used in X05/K05/K05x/K05xs is not very reliable and has much more problem that VMK-3.5 used by higher end players and transports.

By the way VMK-5 is also the OEM drive used by Playback Design and dCS for some (not all) of their players so the same problem may arise.

If you want to upgrade may I suggest you to consider K1, K01/03x or K01/03xs. VMK-3.5 drives have excellent reliability and performance track records.

K03x/K03xs is the sweet spot in the Esoteric single box player family in terms of price/performance ratio. They are significantly better than K05x/K05xs. K01x/K01xs are only marginally better than K03x/K03xs but at a 60% price premium.

Happy listening :)

#20, MLfans, thanks.

My story is different. I observed my player jump lines while playing CD or SACD occasionally. I sent the player to DCH for repair, the DCH cfu told me that the player was needed to replace the Traverse VMK-5 in whole, not the laser head only over the phone. No way, he was the cfu. Finally, I paid HK$3000 for the traverse VMK-5 including labor. It was less than one year ago.

Anyway, I forgot to ask the cfu to give me back the old VMK-5, but the description of part replaced was "TRAVERSE VMK-5".

So seem I could not meet a good cfu like you came across there. So sad.

Csum123 ching, I changed the belt of my X05 about 5 years ago. DCH C-Fu also brought a laser head and asked me whether I want to change it or not for the head normally lasts for 5-6 years depending on usage.

My X05 had no problem reading CDs so I did not changed it. I later sold it and upgraded to K03 and then to K03x.

C-Fu told me the laser head parts cost was around $600 if I replace it together with the belt.

The laser heads are from Sony. If one knows how to do DIY fixing one can order parts online and replace it. (one needs to take out the laser head and find the part number)

C-Fu also told me that the X05 spindle motor is fixed to the drive mechanism and could not be taken apart to replace. So if the motor is dead the whole VMK-5 drive mechanism has to be replaced and the cost was around $6000 (5 years ago).

By the way the drives of K01/03 are completely different. They are all metal and have 2 rubber belts. Both the laser heads and spindle motors can be replaced on-site.

MLfans兄, 請問你個x-05光頭幾時換? 同係咪大昌換架?
大昌cfu話要成個VMK-5換, 唔可以只換光頭, 咪好甘囉.

I have used X05 before. Changing the laser head is around $600 if I remember it correctly.

Whether you think this is reasonable depends on your perspective.

One cannot compare repairing bluray players to Esoteric SACD player IMHO.

當年擺低部G-0s係大昌兩個月,話唔識整,乜嘢都話要換,要收$25000。我俾樂X檢查,原來只是有條燈線鬆了。人哋係有心檢查吖。

K03 model was manufactured from 2010 to 2014, hence your unit is 5 to 9 years old depending on when you bought.

DCH charge $500 for onsite service and $50-60 per rubber band (K03 has 2 rubber bands). Normally rubber bands need.to be replaced every 5-6 years.

Don't go to 樂X in Shatin. The guy who took my call knew little to nothing about Esoteric, gave me a lot of bull shit and quoted me over $1000.

If you want to use your K03 for a few more years you may want to change the laser head as well. Heads normally last for 5-6 years depending on your usage. Cost is around $1k if I remember correctly. The $500 on site service fee covers replacing everything.

Happy listening :)
