Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric

Have been using Esoteric for years! I’ve had many different SAAC players. Great sound!, built like a tank and repair service is available if needed. 

A CD is a spinner and a laser so what does a 12k Esoteric do that a $1,200 Marantz doesn't  

I got a Luxman D-07x a few months ago, and it's a fantastic player and DAC.  Luxman is using a new DAC chip for that model as well as the flagship D-10x.  Couldn't be happier with it.

Very nice- D-07x player. What other gear is in your system?

I own a sweet D-03x and can only imagine the presentation and sound quality of 

D-07x, D-10x Reference players.

Happy Listening!

"A CD is a spinner and a laser so what does a 12k Esoteric do that a $1,200 Marantz doesn't."

I own Esoteric's P-05/D-05 set up as well as a P-0s.  I also have a Theta Jade.  The Theta is really good, but at its' best, maybe 85% of the Esoterics.

So, if you have to ask, you'll never know.
