KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50

I now agree with Keithr that the Linn Unidisk 1.1 is the best I have heard. After a friend got all the bugs worked out of the Linn (two trips back to Linn), the sound he is getting is superb! As much as I like my DV-50, it simply does not have the air, dimensionality and overall musicality of the Unidisk. Alas, I cannot afford it, so I will continue to enjoy the fine (but not ultimate) performance of the Esoteric.

I sold my DV-50 when I hooked up a panasonic portatble and heard more "air".

Irishdog, have you listened to both players in the same system; either in yours or your friend's?

Mak: You have put your finger on a possible flaw in my comparasion of the Linn vs the DV-50. The Linn is heard on a system built around Quad ESL-63's, compared to my system which is anchored by Genesis V's. I hope to get both players into the same system before too long.

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.
