APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01?

I currently have Krell KPS-28c cd player ($8500). I am thinking about upgrading in the near future. Please help me decide which player – most important for me is “red book” format. The rest of my gears are Krell KCT pre-amp ($9000), Krell 400cx amp ($10500) and Wilson Audio Sophia ($11500). Following are possible players in random order:
Musical Fidelity KW SACD - $7,000.00
Krell CD/SACD – to be released soon (because of CAST) - $?
ESOTERIC X-01 SACD/CD - $13,00.00
APL 3910 - $5000.00
Exemplar 3910- $4000.00

Will I be down grading instead of upgrading with any of the above player?

Thanks in advance for your input

Excellent idea, Tbg. Even if only a formality, the use of IMHO is a useful reminder that these are all only opinions.

Tvad, ever since I started having dreams about audio, I've had to use a plastic sheet on the bed, so don't be too self-conscious about your diapers.

Bob,
The new DAC upgrade for the APL is a dramatic leap forward. I know, it seemed impossible to me as well.
Enjoy,
Howard

Thanks for saying that, Tvad. I realize that I have to go pee, so I won't do it here.
