Is there anyone out there who has heard both the Esoteric DV-50, and the new McIntosh universal player? What are your opinions?

Other than that, they never get any back and the sell a lot. I think Dokter Doug simply has bad luck! Hope that changes eventually.

Works like a charm and sounds great. Anyone wanting to know more about my impressions of this universal disc player PM me and let me know. Thus far I'm very happy with it. Doug
