The Esoteric Grandioso K1X SE is a flagship model of the VRDS ATLAS, the highest fragility and heavyweight construction in VRDS history, and an integrated super audio CD player with a completely self-designed discrete D/A converter, Master Sound Discrete DAC. The latest SE models include new discrete clock technology and upgrades to the DAC analogue section, providing advanced sensation, dynamics, and wonderfully organic, musically-infused tone textures.
The Gold Edition is a special model with a champagne gold-colored chassis and gold-finished tray top, which features the commemorative ESOTERIC first edition P 1/D 1 released in 1987. Only 30 units are in production worldwide.
