Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs

Hello,Was wondering if anyone has compared the Marantz SA-10 and Esoteric K-05Xs/K07Xs players.My current Oppo UDP-205 is a nice player, but I think upgrading to a dedicated CD/SACD player might result in a better sound.Thanks in advance!

For anyone who owns (or has listened to) the newer Esoteric XD models (K-05XD/K-03XD) how does their sound compare to the previous generation XS models, since they are now using their own in-house DAC Chip and design.

@milpai yes synergy is key! One other important factor to consider is one’s reference point.

Started this thread almost 5.5 years ago. Wanted to at least mention that my search has ended after I replaced the Oppo UDP-205 player/DAC with the T+A DAC 200. I am very pleased and satisfied with the change.
