well have had the BAT VK-D5SE in the system for a week now, just getting use to its sound.
I came across this one second hand, and the price was just too good to pass up.
I hadnt had a cd player in the system for a while as moved to vinyl only, but over time, found more and more albums i wanted couldnt be had on vinyl.
So dropped a couple of hints to the wife and sure enough, this baby was under the xmas tree
Now my last cdp was the esoteric X03-SE.
these are 2 completely different beast in their sound presentation.
Now the BAThe outright dynamics or detail of the esoteric, but its got a smoothness to its sound that is very pleasing to the ear.
Some pics of it
