Esoteric X-01 versus Oppo 105 Darbee for CD audio?

I realize the price difference. But technology changes have been dramatic since the original X-01.

Ive been enjoying my Mac mini server using the K-01 as the DAC through its USB input for years. If we measure the quality of a component by its feature set then Id go with a Pioneer VSX-824.....man does it do everything!
