Your views on Ayre C5xeMP vs. Esoteric X-03 SE


Hi, I'm going to audition the Esoteric X-03 SE today and possibly buy it. Before I part with my cash, I'd like to know how it stacks up against the Ayre C5xeMP. Can anyone share on the differences in the sonic character of these 2 players?

Reason I'm asking is I can audition the X-03 SE at my local dealer's place whereas I'll have to travel 200km to listen to the Ayre. I know it's down to a matter of personal preferences but I'd still like to hear your comments. Thanks!

I auditioned both on different systems (Both systems have hi-end stuffs). Both players sound Excellent. But the best is to have it hooked up to your system.
FYI: X01 is much better X03.
