emmlabs cdsa-se vs esoteric 05

I have the emmlabs cdsa for a couple years and enjoyed the precise sound. I am looking for current technology and a cdplayer that would be an upgrade. The esoteric 05 is in the right price range. Playback designs is also on list.
Anyone familiar with these sounds?

"I have always found the EMM players very ruthlessly revealing (a kind word for bright)."

I have always found people with subpar systems like yours who make criticisms like this to be dull.

"My system certainly is not subpar. Think before you assume."

Why would you assume I assumed? I looked. And it is.

"I am perfectly fine with my system..."

Yet presumably in it the CDSA was "bright." If so, you have system issues. If not, your comments are merely irresponsible.

"Yeah, I thought as much."

That fact that you're thinking at all is a major milestone.
