The current SOTA SACD player

My current playback includes the non signature version of the EMM Labs Dac's.As I am considering upgrading I would like to know what fellow Audiogoners think will better it in terms of smoothness and detail. Single box player suggestions are certainly welcome with the emphasis being on SACD playback as I have quite a few of these discs.
Thanks

Hi Tom

I for one appreciate your opinion and your efforts in posting them. I would welcome AudioFeil and Essentialaudio input in relation to my initial question as I would others who have enjoyed state of the art playback with any other product.

Thanks

I am an Esoteric dealer; my personal digital front end is the P-03/D-03/G-0s combination. I've heard nothing better. I've not heard your equipment.

Imagine that! You switched out a component you had in your system for a long time and were immediately struck by the difference in sound due to its replacement (in this case a modified version of the same unit). Who could even imagine such a thing!

You hear complaints about obnoxious high end dealers all the time. Now you know why.

Audiofeil,

Can you compare the Esoteric combination to the EMM?

Thanks

Rich, as I posted previously I've not heard the EMM. I would love to hear a side by side evaluation in the same system. There is no other way, IMO, to make any comparions between them. I'm sure I could live with either.
:-)
Thanks
