Esoteric DV-50 vs the Newer Esoteric players?


Hello,

How does the older DV-50 compare to the newer
Esoteric players(SZ-1,DV-60,SA-60,SA-50,X-05).
Would it be wise to purchase a DV-50 at this time?
Or would it be better to wait and get a newer player
from Esoteric or a Marantz SA-11S1orS2.
Is the DV-50 too old????

Thanks

Alpha3, I am a musician and I have used the Marantz SA 11S-1 CD player for several years and I love it. It is very musical and plays RBCD wonderfully and a great SACD reminds me of what I hear in an excellent concert hall
Each year manufacturers come out with a new product that may be somewhat better than the model that one has at the time, but IMO a person could spend a fortune trying to keep up with the latest and greatest component. I personally prefer to have components that are musical, then all that I do is listen to the music.
