Electrocompaniet vs. Resolution Audio

Am considering these players (can get both at same price) or alternatively a Sony Es777 sacd player. Any views on the subject?

I love mine. I compared the 303 directly to a CD 55 and bought the Cary.

The CD 55 was an excellent player, but I ultimately found it to be a little "cooler" than I preferred. Tonality is key. I listen to a lot of classical and acoustic music (jazz, folk) as well as rock, so timbre and tone are paramount in my book. From all the praise it's received, I'm sure the Electrcompaniet is a wonderful player. However, for about half of what I'd have to spend on the EMC-1, I think the Cary more than holds its own in my tubes/ss system.
