Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs

When esoteric sacd works they are hard to beat, I still miss my SA 10, for their price they should be flawless.

SA10 is proving hard to come by at the moment, here in UK at least.

Trebor33 , the unit that gave up on me is SA 10. Read more post here and see what particular model , that works without issue.Like I said esoteric sacd are superb when there is no issue.Before you buy find out if the model you will buy has available authorize repair shop in your country, it will cost you a lot , to send it back to Japan.

I had 2 Marantz CD players, the SA8001 and SA8005, both sounded like mid-fi and the controls on both were cheesy and small.  I bought an Esoteric UX3 in 2012 and it is my last SACD player.
