Esoteric DV50 - What is the next step up?

May be a high quality analog front end? Just for comparison...

Try Esoteric X03SE or top of line Marantz? Or Sim Supernova or Andromeda, or Esoteric X01D2. thanks

if you really like it, don't change a thing.

Those are the three cd/sacd only players that they offer that are "above" the DV50 in a single box unit. I have a DV50s and I really like it. As I am sure you know, the DV50 is a universal player. But like I said, I really like it in my setup. Now, at some point I may goto the next level. When I do that, I may look outside of Esoteric. But I have read that the 03 and 01 are very good units. The 03 was actually reviewed very well and compared rather favorably to a Zanaden combo.

Call Esoteric and/or look at their website for current and prior models. Pretty simple....
