Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Esoteric Players

Combines both those attributes without leaning to the clinical side of the fence. With your set budget I'd look for a recent X03... I have their D-07 DAC and hence my recommendation. I haven't heard a Wadia player to compare but against Accuphase players within that same budget I'd go for an Esoteric. The Accuphase players might be more 'romantic' sounding with good bass weight and details yet I feel the Esoteric has better fine details with greater bass weight.

You might like to audition one and judge for yourself.
