I am still using a Marantz SA-11S1 with the Ultimate Tube Mod by pcX. Great player, very musical, yet very different from Esoteric gear. I have also owned a couple of Esoteric CDP's.
Yes, the Esoteric models are built better, and more revealing, but to my ears, they sounded more like good Hi-Fi, whereas the Marantz sounds more like music. The Marantz sounds more like my analog front end, natuarl sounding, whereas the Esoteric models sounded more revealing, yet a bit etched in the highs.
