Wanted to update my request by adding a third SACD player namely the Esoteric K-05XD, which is priced about the same as the Acuphase, but more than the Luxman. I did an A1 search asking which of the three SACD players would integrate best with my system. A1 picked the Esoteric and gave its reasoning. Realistically, I will never be able to hear the three together. I have found A1 to make mistakes in objective issues, but this is subjective to a great extent. How reliable is A1 in a case like this. Any thoughts?
ACCUPHASE d-570S VS. LUXMAN D-07X SACD PLAYERS
Have any members heard either or both of the Accuphase D-570S which retails for about $14,000 or the Luxman D-07X which retails for about $11,500.00. I did an AI search comparing the two and AI says that the Accuphase has more substantial import fees than the Luxman. AI also liked the Luxman sound better; I am not at the point that I will make purchasing decisions based on AI. I use AI as a guide to help me. But I would much prefer to hear the players myself or obtain opinions from members. Thank you.
