KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50

Anyone has compared these two players?

Please share your findings... Which one should I get? Suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I've had dcs and Pass dacs with a cec transport that sounded better on cd, but it should for that much $. I find the cd replay on the Krell just great and the sacd is a bonus. Spend your money on music.

Like I said many moons ago the stock cd quality is incredible almost in the league of SACD..A great power cord can make a world of difference on this player..And with such a cord I preferred the Krell over the MF TriVista SACD player..Tom

This is a very linear, wide bandwidth cable, dynamically balanced..Tom
