ultimate final word best cd set up

Seeking world class #1 top of the line choice cd system? I am too and recently i have heard the esoteric X-01 with jm labs diva utopias, bat preamp driven by a burmester amp. When the cd source was switched to a burmester I was disappointed. At first i didn't notice any difference until the esoteric was put back on and I have to say there is seldom a sound like this. I totally forgot about the equipment and focused on the music. For us not so fortunate in the financial aspect what cd players or combos (transport and dac) will approach this level but not cost nearly as much. I currently own a sony dvp 9000 es which is decent, but obviously i'ld like to have betta. thanks

Tvad, thanks for the advise. I am also convinced that the 3910 is Alex's best project to date and it also offers the most playback format compatibility as well. Best regards.

Pedrillo, I have reasons to suspect that you and I listened to the same system. Was it at Sound By Singer in N.Y? And your observations about Burmester 001 vs Esoteric X-01 match my findings exactly. See:

I am still in love with X-01, especially after the consultant applied the Shunyata Anaconda chord.
On the other hand, as pointed out already, ModWright, APL, Exemplar, have modified Denon and Sony universal playerswith apparently exceptional results, and prices ranging from $2600 for the ModWright Sony to approx $4K for the APL moded Denon 3910.
A group of dedicated audiophiles and agones from Chicago, led by the brave AVGURU and 711SMILIN are conducting a series of fascinating shootouts on modified and non modified players. See the following URL:
