Luxman D-06u or Esoteric K-05Xs CD / SACD player?


Which of these CD / SACD players sounds the best? A luxman D-06u or a Esoteric K-05Xs? They are both around $8500 and they are both made in Japan. Any opinions.

The luxman D -06u is brilliant, it's a simple beast, but it ticks all the boxes for me. My dealer tells me that luxman are discontinuing all but the D-380 players, no word on what's next from them. I imagine it's a sign of the times,  with streaming in its infancy and all. 
By the way, I steam with Tidal,  but every cd on the luxman (Incl the D-380, which I auditioned) has more life, greater sound stage and greater air (same nad m12 dac for both)..... I've no experience with the Esoteric, not a common brand in New Zealand. 
twoleftears is spot on! CD players at the upper echelons are better described as different rather than good, better or best. I had the Esoteric X0-1. It had a very full soundstage. I moved onto the PS Audio directstream DAC. It's more laid back. I could be happy with either. Joe
