    Esoteric seems to sound weird after 6-8hrs of running

    I believe that even contacting the Esoteric dealer will not get a good solution. Because the service process of large Japan A/V Manufacturers are not the same as that of small companies in Europe and America, the owner is the designer, and you can get instant service quickly.

    Esoteric seems to sound weird after 6-8hrs of running

    I also found the same problem as you. My player is K1x+PS1. I think this problem is difficult to explain the situation to the Esoteric factory. Unless it is possible to provide measured data. There should be many potential bugs in the design of the new VRDS-ATLAS and Master Sound Discrete DAC...

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Japanese brand gears generally have the chassis and the power ground terminal connected together. Esoteric is same. Luxman should be the same.
