Audiolab 9000cdt vs Audiolab 6000cdt vs Teac 505t

Can anybody compare any of these to each other? I’m working with a 2002 Vecteur L4 being used as a transport, and I’m wondering about one of these as a potential replacement. I haven’t heard any of them, but I have read all I can find. Anybody actually heard any of these and willing to share your observations? TIA

The Audiolab seem like nice machines.  They were on my short list.   I actually bought a Teac 505t sight unseen.  When I went to pick it up I thought it was nice. Build quality is high .  I thought about it and switched gears and bought the VRDS 701t.   

I am pretty sure a 505t will at some point end up in my second system .

I love it.  It sounds great with my DAC and it sounds solidly built when loading a disc and skipping tracks.   Dead quiet when spinning discs.  

Remote is good , not great.  Solid but hard to see if I don't have readers on.  I got a Sofabaton X1S remote and learned the 701t commands along with my other gear.  I was long overdue for a replacementfor my Harmony remote . 

Display is nice.  Can auto off and dim via remote 

Also has an adjustable timer for Auto Off / Standby.   A great feature.    

Menu is good.  Can enable MQA not that you'll probably ever own any discs , but it outputs 88.2k with CDs when you do.  

Solid build quality.  22 lbs.    So far so good and I somehow received what appears to be serial number 00001.

Music Direct has a good price on these now
