emmlabs cdsa-se vs esoteric 05


I have the emmlabs cdsa for a couple years and enjoyed the precise sound. I am looking for current technology and a cdplayer that would be an upgrade. The esoteric 05 is in the right price range. Playback designs is also on list.
Anyone familiar with these sounds?

Kevinkwann....."I have always found people with subpar systems like yours who make criticisms like this to be dull."

My system certainly is not subpar. Think before you assume.

Why would you assume I assumed? I looked. And it is.
Stereo5,
If you're happy with your system I wouldn't be concerned with what Kevinkwann or anyone else thinks. Someone passing judgment without hearing the system is shallow and rude. If you read other posts by him you'll realize he often negatively comments on the systems of others but ironically doesn't post his audio system. It's not worth the bother, enjoy what you have.
Charles,
Thanks Charles. I am perfectly fine with my system and enjoy it immensely. So Kevinkwann, why don't you tell me about your UN-subpar system so I can gush accordingly.
