Esoteric DV-50S vs. UX-3SE Audio/Video quality


Anybody could help me decide if the extra cost for the UX-3SE is worth the investment.

My apologies - I have not seen or heard the UX-3se, I meant simply to address that I feel the Standard DV-50 with an external video processor was significantly better than even a DV-50S in video quality in my system. Given that the "S" upgrade is $500 plus shipping, it is not that much more dough to stick with the standard DV-50 and add an external video box. Plus, you might get some extra video flexibility to boot.

Many, me included, feel the DV-50(and the “S”) falls short on the video side of things on its own. However, by adding an external video processor, I feel I am not compromising in the slightest on video.

And then there's the audio...just very nice!
I replaced my DV50S with a UX3SE.
The UX3SE video is much better than the DV50, same for the sound : the DV50 was already very good but a bit on the dark and full side, the UX3SE got more details, is more dynamic, faster and more transparent.
I think it really worth the money.
