I am considering an upgrade and wanted to know if any inmates had made this move and if they could describe their experiences? Was the audio improvement worth the $1200 or should I just put that money toward a new "improved" player in a few years?

The UX-3 player may be discounted, at least rumor has it. This has the same internal guts as the X-03 w/ the additional video board. Now, you can turn off the video section completely so "theoretically" should get about the same sound as the X-03, though maybe not of the SE versionI've been thinking about using one as a transport for my Audiomecca DAC? The main thing about the UX-3/X-03 is that killer 30 pound transport mechanism?
If these go on sale does anyone have any thoughts about this player as a transport? The Soundstage review was killer and I like the fact that if possible somewhere down the road I could maybe stick a plasma screen outta the way on the wall and use the video section?
Either way this Esoteric stuff really has my attention w/ that transport mechanism.....then there's the possibility of getting either a plain, non-SE UX-3/X-03 and having that Audiocam Superclock 4 put in the darn thing which I read somewhere was a phenomenal match up?
I might be interested in buying that X-03 if you want to move on to something else. Email me if interested.
I just received my X-03SE two hours ago (didn't have the X-03 before) and WOW! This thing is so beautiful and so well-built. With this, you know exactly where your money goes, and in this business, it's rare enough. I felt it was worth every dollar just looking at it.
