Esoteric owners - SA-50 to ?

I'm curious as to what other previous SA-50 owners went to in upgrading their player. I'm a current owner of a SA-50 and have been looking to upgrade. Is the K-05 worth the move up or is another player in line all together? Thank you in advance for your input and recommendations.

I believe that all Esoteric players use discrete output, no op amps.

"The newer Esoteric players sound way better, they are much more musical and way more involving."

I don't know what to say about that. I just bought an Esoteric UX-3 (ehibitor unit) player and I truly love it. It's the best digital in my home. I like it much more than my Wyred dac which uses the ESS dac. The player sounds very musical and effortless sounding, especially on the many rock cd's I own.
