Cary 306 Pro or Esoteric X-01 LE or DCS P8i MKII


Hi,
I want to buy a SACD player used. For my budget I can buy the Cary 306 Pro or the Esoteric X-01 Limited or the DCS P8i MKII.
I need a balanced player and because it will be use with a full tube preamplifier and tubes power monoblocks, I prefer very detailed and dynamic sound.
I will apreciate your opinions and experiences.

Have you considered the Ayre 5 universal player? It sounds exactly like what you are looking for. You'll probably save some money as well.
Srereo5,

That's some very good info on the Esoteric. I've always liked Cary CD players but I recently found out that Cary is under new ownership and that its not the company it once was.
