EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01

To stoke the raging fires in the current discussions about the relative virtues of the EMM DCC2/CDSD combination,
I would welcome comments from those who had the rare opportunity of auditioning, and possibly trying out the Esoteric X-01, the CD/SACD only version of the slightly better known UX-1.
If you had the additional privilege of comparing either X-01 or UX-1 with the EMM DCC2/CDSD combination, your comments would be especially appreciated.

Guidocorona,

It *appears* that your listening session (tho good) was not completely fair:
Why did you not change the Burmester stock power cord with the available Shunyata Python VX & listen again?

2ndly, do you know whether or not all 3 players (esp. the Burmester) were broken-in?
From what you have written, it *appears* that the Burmester is suffering from lack of burn in & lack of warm up.

FWIW. IMHO.
More to discover
