Esoteric SA-10 SA-60


Hello all, I am considering either of these players. Any opinions on which one sounds better? Or any ideas on an equal?

I used to own a MF A5 .What a load of marketing hype on that ting. Don't walk away from this unit , instead run as far and as fast as you can from it.
Somehow Esoteric units sound "different" from other manufacturer's digital sources. There's more detail and a certain musically "correct" balance which I attribute primarily to their transport/lens mechanism.
Thanks for the input everyone. Budt, what was your experience with the MFA5? Did you have a failure or just bad sound. Also I will audition the SA-60.
I auditioned the MF and the Esoteric SA-10.
There is no comparison. The SA-10 sounded superb. And even though it doesn't have tubes, it sounded more "tube-like" than the tubed MF. I mean that in a good way.
My amp and pre-amp are MF so its not like I don't care for their product; but there is no comparison. Go Esoteric!
