Hunter, i'd strongly consider the Vitus RCD-101 which is $11,500Eur. This player sounds better than the previous Signature Series model (SCD-010) which was awesome! It is made in Denmark (including the modules and boards) & features a heavily modified Sony sacd drive. The industrial design is terrific, and build quality is excellent throughout. Another reason to consider Vitus is solid resale value.
NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW CD/SACD PLAYER
My Esoteric K-01 player has just stopped working for the second time.
The transport works, but no audio on any source--no audio on CD and no audio from my server. I will send it back for repair. This is the second time for repairs in two years.
Can anyone recommend a CD/SACD player that is more reliable? I thought the sound of the K-01 was very good; I am happy to consider units that are better sounding and/or more expensive. But reliability is just as important.
I just don't want to deal with the unit going down again. . .
