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?

You are evading the question as to what your system comprises of. Come on now, we all want to gush over it.
"Yeah, I thought as much."

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

Everything out of your mouth is either negative or sarcastic. I will waste no more time with the likes of you.
