You can also include Metronome Technologie CD4 or T2i signature in this price range : they seemed to be better than EMM combo on DC's, sound like vinyl, and are not tubey like Audioaro can be !
DCS is "digital sounding" if you don't buy the full verdi + verrona + elgar plus
Esoteric is to analytical, and not enough musical - for me
