Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today?

I have been waiting for the new Spectral CD player...now scheduled to be released early next year. It's supposed to be great...rest of system is Spectral. But now I'm wondering - should I look at a multi-player (SACD, etc) unit? I dont want to spend all this money on an obsolete product, and I'm unlikely to buy anything new after this for quite a few years. Thanks for feedback.

Spending 10k on a redbook cd player only would be very very hard for me. Unless it just sounds killer and can beat something like a Esoteric UX-1 which does all.

I just bought a Esoteric DV 50 ($5500 new) SACD-DVD-DVD-a and I have to say I'm pretty amazed. I'm not sure there is a significantly better redbook only player at this same price.

So, I got it all in one.

PS, my vinyl I still like better, but I now have access to some great music. SACD/redbook is pretty darn good though...
