No offense taken. Mean that sincerely. I get that the price of the Esoterics sure make them targets. I bought used and then held my breath as I had never heard one until it arrived. I had a Sony 777 and enjoyed it and only sold as I kept having to send it in to get fixed every couple of years. Read the "sterile" comments and being a tube lover was worried about a thin sounding digital player that was built well. Well I consider the Esoteric to be anything but thin. It is joy to own to use and I enjoy the hell out of it.
I get that smaller increases in sound quality costs coin. The biggest difference in digital I ever heard was going from a Nakamichi cd2 to a Sony 333. The Nak sounded like a cracker jack plastic whistle compared to the Sony (and I am a long time confirmed Nak lover). The 777 was a better player than the 333 and the Esoteric bests them all in my house.
I could still live with the 333 easily if I had to as I spin vinyl most of the time anyways BUT I am very HAPPY that I own the Esoteric.
