DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod

Would sincerely appreciate some experienced guidance or commentary on this.

Here's my situation: Want a great SACD/CD player, happy with a 'good' DVD/DVD-A player - or a universal biased towards SACD/Redbook CD performance.

I'd thought of an Underwood/Partsconnexion mod'd DVD-5900 or 3910, but think I'd be setting myself up for losing even more $$$ when I go to upgrade...
So, have been thinking of the Teac Esoteric DV-50s, or Krell SACD Standard [since CD is my priority]

I've seen the Krell vs Esoteric thread ... but wonder what else I should consider in the $2k-$5k range ?
Happy to buy a good used model in that range as well

Maybe the Exemplar sounded better to TBG because he has a different system, and values different musical presentations?
Bingo. That's for sure.

Kana813,

Apologies to you. Now that I see your closing in complete form, it's obvious to me what
Mele Kalikimaka & Hauoli Makahiki Hou
means. I stupidly thought in a previous post of yours (a different thread, perhaps) that when you wrote "Mele Kalikimaka" you were signing your real name. I feel like such an idiot. (Wiping egg off face)

So ... "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" to you too.

Regards,

I wouldn't have known what it meant, except that my wife's brother married a woman who lived in Hawaii for several years.
