Esoteric: new cd players

Hi,
I have seen that Esoteric has brought out the K01xd and the K03xd.  As yet, I have not been able to find any reviews online. 

Has anybody heard one of these machines as yet?  I have the K05x, and I am very happy with it.  Would upgrading be a substantial improvement?
Many thanks.

I also have a 05X...Excellent player... Not ready to spend more for marginal gain in performance.

I recently purchased a ko5xs. I noticed that the draw mechanism makes a clunking sound after it closes. Is this normal for this machine.  Thanks

When the drawer opens or closes, there is at the start of that process a sound that could be described as a very quiet, expensive-sounding "clonk".  While it is opening or closing, there is a very quiet "whirr".
Clunking sounds while it is opening or closing would worry me.
