McIntosh MCD12000 vs. Luxman D-10X vs. Technics SL-G700M2


Hello,

Has anyone heard the McIntosh MCD12000, the Luxman D-10X and the Technics SL-G700M2?

If yes, what are the differences? and which do you prefers and why?

I am about to purchase a Technics SL-G700M2 this week, but now thinking whether I should cancel and purchase either the MCD12000 or the Luxman D-10X instead.

I understand the Technics SL-G700M2 is a much lower cost, but I am hoping someone who had listens to all 3 SACD players above can provide me with an insight on how they differs.

Thank you

@bmwalpina I am surprised that you find the new XD Esoterics "aggressively detailed" in the upper frequencies.  This has not been my experience with my K-03XD.  They have an r-2r topology in their new series of players which to my ears has fixed any of the previous models etched flavor.
