Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE

There is an X-01, X-01 Limited, and an X-01 D2 which has been just released. There is however no X-01 Se. I have an X-01 Limited in my system, which is a wonderful device, but I have not been able to do a direct comparison to any EMM products. If you have the opportunity of auditioning these devices together, make sure they have at lease 1000 hours of operation on them, or you may walk out of the audition unnecessarily dissatisfied with both.

Guidocorona im talking about the limited edition one!!!
Im very interested in these two as they are in the same price range!!!Hope somebody has done a direct comparison of these two!

Mixalis between these 2 I vote for the new EmmLabs cdsa se.
The new xo1-d2 is also a strong contender it has the p03-do3 transport and selectable dacs. Only a side by side comparison will tell the truth though.

Did you listen the new Emmlabs?

There is one player you should audition, it is the Meridian 808i. We comparred it with the Esoteric X-O1. And I was surprised how much better it was compared to the X-O1. Only when played on sacd the low frq. where better. All the other aspects the Meridian was of another league.

Kops i dont think George will bring the EMM LABS as demo....So either i buy it without auditioning it, or i m getting the Esoteric!!!As you understand its impossible to do a side by side comparison.....Tough choice!!Heard great things about the Emm Labs though!!!
Leonx ill try to audition the Meridian as well!Dont want to leave out a strong competitor like that especially as you are saying its better than the Esoteric!
