Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE


Hi guys and Happy New Year!!!
Has anybody got the chance to compare side by side these two great players?What is you opinion?
Im interested in purchasing one of the above players so i would really appreciate any comments from you!!!
Are they both the same "flavour"??or is it just a matter of taste in the end?
Thanks!

Yes it was the X-O1. But I don't think that they are able to make this new one sound more natural en more revolving. It will still have the analyticle sound.
The most recordings on sacd are made what they call a back-up copy. Because it cost a lot of money to keep a master. They sample these back-up copies to sacd. A lot of the sacd recordings from Sony are done like this.
SACDs do not murder music. . . irresponsible recording engineers with SACDs murder music!

Ditto!

We did an extensive two weekend shoout-out between sveral top notch players incl. the Esoteric X-01 Ltd. The clear winner was the GNSC Ref. Level modded Wadia 581 I´ve owned followed by the DCS P-8i. Unfortunately the D2 version and the one box EMMLabs weren´t released that time.

I know what you mean Leonx. I would also love to make my X-01 Ltd more revolving, but I just can't bear the thought of putting it in my microwave oven just to see it spin round and round. It would not be a high end solution. , you understand? and I do not have the budget for a matching SOTA turn table to load it on to. I guess my X-01 will have to stay sadly stationary and analytical for the time being. . . oh well, I'll keep on dreaming!
