the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?

Esoteric X03-SE - awesome on both redbook and sacd.

...sacd...

WOW!

Ummmm...how about an Imac to a MHDT Havana NOS Dac? Sure gives my Exemplar a run for the money :)

I have not heard the Marantz SA 7s1, but did the 11s1 very good. I heard the X03SE at a NYC store last year very impressive detail and dynamics. I have not heard Simaudio Super Nova, I have heard the Andromeda but its more than 10K now. All of these are excellent in my opinion, and may match in some sytems better than others. Thanks

I've been running an Esoteric X-03SE for the past few months and am thrilled. It replaced a Naim CDX2 and surpasses it easily. Can't say I've heard many others at this price point though.

thanks a lot everybody!

what about a Jadis Player?

I have heard yesterday for 1st time the Jadis jp80 mkII (a preamp) compared to the ARC ref 3 ... I was deeply impressed ...

so that's why I ask if somebody knows whether the Cd player is as good as the preamp ...?

thanks again

PS I will to try to hear all your recommendations
