In my previous post I wrote, "Esoteric -- the earlier DV-50 was essentially a stock Pioneer but with a linear power supply replacing the switching power supply." This was going off my memory, which is not as good as it once was due to the pain medications I am taking since my accident.

In this case, I was well off the mark. An examination of a photo of the DV-50 reveals that my description was incorrect. It is true that the transport mechanism itself is a slightly modified Pioneer. But the rest of the player's innards are clearly not stock Pioneer PCB's.

Therefore my previous rankings are incorrect. The Esoteric should be at the bottom of the list, meaning that it has more changes from a stock Pioneer than any other player, including even the Ayre. (Previously I had ranked Esoteric in the middle because while many of their models are clearly fresh "ground-up" designs, I mistakenly thought that the DV-50 was not.)

My apologies to Esoteric and anyone who was misled by my previous posting.
