Ive heard all three CD players, all broken in. The EMC1 is a fantastic player, but not in the same league as the Accuphase. If you can afford a $5000 player, go for a used 75V on Audiogon.
As far as the 85v75V goes, i prefered the 85 on redbook. If your decision is based on redbook alone, then you should go for the 75V because you pay for the SACD of the DP85 and the difference in redbook performance does not justify the price difference.
Bottom line : you want to get into SACD and have a killer redbook, get the DP85. You want a fantastic redbook player and dont give a toss about SACD, get the 75V. You cant afford a 5K player but still want excellent performance, get a EMC1.
Cheers
