Esoteric k-03 vs emm labs CDSA SE


Which is better there are both used in audiogon , I don't have a chance to listen to them, I have been using Sony XA-9000ES ,
Esoteric k-03 is more money and current production.
Thanks for your opinion .

I have heard Esoteric X-01SE (slightly modd'd) and Emm CDSA SE. I personally preferred X-01SE. I found it had a slightly warmer tonality than Emm. In different system...could possibly go the either way but my gut told me i would probably go with Esoteric more often than Emm. Emm was very smooth, clear but a touch cool for my taste.

I have read the K-03 is a bit warmer, more tonally pure. My 2 cents. Good luck...no doubt, both great choices! Enjoy! and pls keep us posted.
