Esoteric DV-50s,X-03 Vs Musical Fidelity Trivista

I currently own a Musical Fidelity Trivista SACD/CD Player. It has become my Reference player after trying a few others like the Sony SCD-1, Marantz Sa11S1, Sony SCD-XA777ES, Sony SCD-XA9000ES, Rotel RCD991 AE,Denon DCD SA-10,Shanling SCD T-200 and the Marantz SA-1. Although some of these players hold their own characteristic in music I have found that the Musical Fidelity Trivista Player is one of the most complete SACD/CD Players around in music reproduction. Not just for SACD playing but as well as for Redbook Cds. I am considering trying the Esoteric line to see how it compares to my Trivista and I will like to know if there is anyone who has heard both units and can share their experiences with both units. I know that the DV-50s is also a Universal DVD player but I have read that it is also an Outstanding SACD/CD Player.I also understand that every player will have the tendency of sounding different from one system to another due to cables,amplifiers,Interconnects and Preamp/Processors used but I just want to have an overall idea of what people think about both units.
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Carlos.

Thanks Audiooracle for your comments. Actually I am not looking to change my Trivista(For Now that Is). I just wanted to try a different player of more or less the same level just to see how they will fair against my Trivista. You happen to be right, I love the warm/natural sound of my Trivista. It has such a warm/natural and neutral sound. I could not get that warm/Natural sound from any of the "high end " players I had mentioned before. Even from the Shanling which is a tube/solid state CD player.I don't like players that have the tendency of sounding mechanical. I think I should just continue enjoying the heavenly sound of my Musical Fidelity Trivista SACD/CD Player. I have my TriVista connected to my Parasound Halo C1 Processor using a 1m. pair of Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II Interconnects and a 2m. Balanced pair of Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II connected from the C1 Processor to each of my Parasound Halo JC1 Monoblocks and from each Monoblock I have a 10ft. Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun to my Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature Series Full range Speakers and the sound its Remarkable. This is a match made in heaven. I have tried many amplfiers before but I have found that Parasound Halo Amplifiers sound very Natural and for cables I use only Acoustic Zen cables. I feel that this system brings out the best of my Musical Fidelity Trivista.
One thing I know for sure and that is that I may try another CD Players down the road but the Musical Fidelity TriVista is here to Stay.
Thanks again Audiooracle for your comments.
Regards,

Carlos.
