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

@oddiofyl  how do you like the Teac? I did not have much luck with Pro-Ject or Bel- Canto.

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

I had the CDT6000 for a couple years. It's good, BUT...

 I got the bug for another top loader and investigated the Shanling ET3. IMHO, no comparison- night and day better and MSRP is only $749. If you shop on Shanlings www you can find better pricing on brand new unit
