I also have Genesis V's, and the Esoteric DV-50 (which replaced the Sony SCD 777 ES) has been the answer to a prayer. The fives have never sounded better on all formats. Save your money and get the DV-50.
You can probably pick up a used Sony 999ES and have Dan Wright do the Signature Tube mod for a total of $1300-$1400. I owned the first 999ES Dan modded and it was stunning.
