Doe's anyone have a Esoteric XO-3 cd player?

Thank you for your responses,I have a JC-1 preamp and a pair of JC-2 pre amps ,so I can run balanced from the player all the way to the amps. I have heard both positive and negative about balanced and single ended. I will give the balanced a try. Also looking at the Esoteric XO-5, a little bit less money, but what would I be giving up in the process. My big thing is I want to purchase from a company that will be around for a while, hense thinking Esoteric. A close friend also told me about a marantz player that retails for around $6,000. Any coments on that?

Thank you very much Dodgealum,cerrot and Ras422 for your input. It seems a shame that there are still big egos in audio. You wonder why the "high end" gets a bad rap,just look at the response from Reb1208. Gee pal,if we were all as smart as you, you would not be so "special" would you. Why would you even bother to respond to me, guess you have no life. All that I want is some input on making a very big purchase. Where I live, there are not alot of good high end stores to listen to different cd players.
Beside the point,THANKS to all of you ready to help out another music lover. Remember,It's all about the MUSIC, not the equipment!

A big thanks to all of you for taking the time to help me out with this purchase. I just ordered the XO-3 and can't wait to hear it in my system! If I have any more questions, it's nice to know there is a place were I can get some straght answers from. Again,thank you ALL very much!!
