KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50


Anyone has compared these two players?

Please share your findings... Which one should I get? Suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I owned the Teac.
Overall it is a very good machine.
I sold it because for my tastes, its sonic signature was slightly cold.
I have tube equipment and prefer a more musical sound.
I now am using a Pioneer DVD 59avi as a transport with a Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC 21.
Very musical, warm with 96 upsampling, not warm with 192 upsampling. Very detailed with both.
Although it is not broken in, I am very impressed. So far, I just may keep it.
Had a totally modded Denon 2900 prior to the Esoteric and it didnt cut it.
I am in the market for a DV-50. What are your thoughts on it's strengths and weaknesses.
Thanks,
Larry
