The SQ character of Esoteric players has always been too clean and clinical for my tastes probably because the SACD signal is converted to PCM ahead of D/A conversion in the players, a fault with many SACD players including Sony who invented the DSD /SACD format. Don't rule out Krell who have confirmed that the signal remains as DSD throughout and Marantz of course.
