Esoteric owners - SA-50 to ?


I'm curious as to what other previous SA-50 owners went to in upgrading their player. I'm a current owner of a SA-50 and have been looking to upgrade. Is the K-05 worth the move up or is another player in line all together? Thank you in advance for your input and recommendations.

as an Esoteric dealer and a dealer for a zillion other lines,

the SA 50 was a good player loved by critics but liked by dealers, I thought it was a good sounding player but was not particularly lush or musically engaging.

The newer Esoteric players sound way better, they are much more musical and way more involving.
