Personally, for a small set-up, for that price they would definitely be worth a punt but possibly not at the original pricing.
Hope they prove inspiring as I've always had a bit of a thing for objects Roksan..... except for their speakers.....

Hmmm bit of a punt considering I haven't auditioned but I lusted after these when they were 3 times the price and who doesn't love a bargain. Hopefully my speakers will do em justice..

Seems its mostly the casework that is costing the bucks.
Touchscreen and lcd display.
its a good looker but id never pay just for the looks or casework. Id rather have a large ugly box with quality internals (sorry drummerman).
I bet it still sounds good though but much better than k3?? Doubt it

The K3 is a typical integrated big boy. The Oxygen is a statement in industrial design, user interface and company's engineering prowes. Fans of B&O and Jacob Jensen's work would understand.
This isn't for 'audiophiles' or pragmatists. It's aesthetics aficionados choice. They even print Jay Paul Apodaca art work on the top cover.
"**** Bernini, it's just casework".

Well, Oxygenes arrived today in their very posh packaging and I've had a couple of hours with my reference cd's (Abbey Rd, Rumours/Tusk, Yoshimi, Aerial) along with random favourites on Tidal Hifi via Bluetooth. Straight out of the box Bluetooth sounded startlingly better than the cdp, cd's so far sound OK a little flat but hopefully this will improve once the player is burnt in (fingers crossed it's not an urban myth). Bluetooth sounds very very good indeed straight away, a huge upgrade on my Arcam Solo.

Also a possibility that you've accustomed to the Marantz CDP treble.
Try some CDs with high dynamic range.

I think your got your self a bit of a bargain there considering when first released those 2 boxes would of set you back £6000 and you got them for the bargain price of £2000 that's got to be a good deal .
there not meany reviews around on theses 2 boxes so would be nice after a week ones you have got used to it and let us know what your feelings are about them both .
i see the amplifier is class D at 120watts 8ohms in mono amps with dual power supply's do you know if the amplifier does 4ohms a tall . ? so should be good on the bass side of things being class D .

That could be the case as I've had 3 or 4 Marantz players on the trot in what was my main system. I was actually though used to the cdp in the Arcam Solo which had a very very nice sound with the AE's as part of what has by default become my no1 system - certainly by rrp!!!

A huge bargain I reckon original al rrp for the 2 listed at £6700 according to Richer Sounds website.. I will drop a review on here in a few weeks once I've had a proper listen and it's nicely ran in.
According to the spec it does 4ohms - I have some Boston Acoustics M25's in my garage so will try them see what they sound like

I hope you will enjoy them for years. Certainly a design statement.
May I be ueber critical for a moment? - I love the casing but I really, really do not like the feet.
I personally would replace them immediately 🙂
Fully understand if others think differently.

My very first thoughts when I first saw them. Something more discrete and customized would be an improvement.

Agree on the feet, they could do with being half the height....Where I'm sat I can see straight through to the wires hanging down at the back and it is bugging me!!!! On a plus point my wife loves the look generally a big improvement on 'ugly boxes'.

That's about six times.
Your wife must really love them 🙂
Not too much on the Tube about them but what there is sounds promising.
As to feet, it should be easy to find something a little more sympathetic to the design.
It's just something Roksan don't do looking at their other offerings.
