Mcintosh MCD-500 vs Esoteric X-05

On the market for another SACD/CD player in the $6K retail price range. Building a secondary system for my winter retreat.

What is the better sounding player in mainly CD playback?

SACD is secondary since I only have about 100 sacds verse 7000 CDs.

Also, what is the better player overall for value and construction and reliability ?

Thank you for your help in advance.
