Which player for Accuphase c2900 and a75 original esoteric k01 or an Accuphase


I have the house sound of Accuphase  C 2900 paired with a 75 amplifier, it is sweet, but somewhat rolled off at the extremes,, I would be very very appreciative if you guys that know more than me would comment on the benefits of adding the esoteric   K0 1. original ,,or possibly the DP 720 or 750  I’m looking for a little bit more bass definition and do not want to get caught up too deep in the romance thanks in advance again for any help Barry

I subscribe to these wise words! (I mean, @audiopacer 's). Also, I would like to add that I have listened to an older Accuphase DC37 dac at length, in my own system, and while it was well extended both ways and the sound was musical, refined, sweet and romantic, the bass was plentiful and the bass definition was not its strongest asset. Also, it felt a bit overly polished and polite. DC37 is very very similar to the dac section in the DP-720 so this SACD player in particular doesn’t seem to be what you are looking for IMO.

Thank you donquichotte , I will certainly remember this ,,, did own  a dp 75. DAC  and trans 90 and 91    550 and 560 THROUGH THE YEARS ,,,  I suppose will be going to either 750 or 770 ,,,, many thanks for your expertise ,,, I actually enjoyed the 550 over the 560 for red book 

Sorry guys ,,,, failed to state presently using a Luxman d 05 u ,, nice machine but obviously a few tiers below the rest of the rig 

I would go for the Esoteric K01.  Nothing else comes close imo. The Accuphase looks fancy with the champagne front and hidden controls but I found their players to sound a little fat and bloated.
