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

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

In other words, nothing.

I have the McIntosh MCD600. I think it sounds considerably better than my Luxman and OPPO players.

The 600 also has a preamp section so you can go directly to your amps.

Sounds better than going through my Topping Pre90.

Can't recommend the MCD600 highly enough.

eudisiam woefully inaccurate is a car a car? so by your reasoning  a Ferrarri and a pinto are the same

a 1200 Marantz vs a 10k esoteric you are going to hear a considerable difference as long as your system has good resolution.

why? superior design: power supplies, superior dac, better data read via superior drive

Take a look at this and possibly a high end "used" CD/SACD player. You can use your current DAC.
