BAT VK-D5SE supertube CD player sound

Hello,
I have enjoyed my BAT VK-D5SE redbook player for many years - very solid organic sound. However, I can't help wondering what the next level sounds like. Can anyone give me a comparison of the BAT player verses the EMM Labs or the Audio Note DAC -- these are the two I am most interested in, also these are very differnt in how they process or not the digital to analogue conversion (DSD upsampling vs BAT 8X vs 1X no-upsampling). I am not too interested in specific "voices" -- I just want the MOST acuate true reproduction (like live voice/instruments). My other equipment is; Pass Labs Aleph P preamp, McCormack DNA-1 revision A amps, Quad 988 esl, and Pure Note silver cables. Also, as my redbook collection is numbering well within 4 digits; vinyl, SACD, or DVD is not a consideration at this time. Thanks for the help and oppinions.
