I'm coming from an Oppo 95 player so I think either one of these players will be a big improvement for me .
Thanks for posting that . Im using two Mcintosh  MC 252 amps  through a Krell KCT pre Amp with B&W 800D speakers and I was thinking the same thing . I like Mcintosh for their amps but not so much for their digital products . I bought the  Mcintosh MCD 700 player when it first came out in the eighties then purchased a Mcintosh MVP 851 later on and my oppo 95 sounds better than the MAC .
Ive also had tons of problems with my Mcintosh players . They have not been trouble free for me over the years .
Im still deciding between the two players Mcintosh MCD 550 or the ESOTERIC 7X

I went with the Esoteric K-07X new .

I had two Mcintosh players Mcd 7000 ( first cd player Mcintosh made )
then I had a MVP 851.

Im trying something different this time .

For power conditioners , I've sold my Richard Gray 1200. I'm planning on replacing it with a Shunyata Denali S .
I've never heard of Equitech. I'm looking forward to my new Esoteric player . Im hoping for a nice improvement in sound quality .
