CD player to choose? : Lindemann or Audionet?

Interested to know which one you would pick -up as a great cd player. If not heard just give an opinion based on what you read around
Thanks

As it turned out the unit is state of the art but only if used on a proper shelf such as the Finite Element, with proper ac filtering and only after removing the ferrite beads on the power supply cable from the external power supply. With these modest tweaks, it is state of the art, certainly for combined redbook/SACD playback. I do believe that there are better units if one wants only a single format.

BUT: There are rumors that AUDIONET is coming out with a new cd/dvd/sacd player in Germany and that this is better than both, the linn, dcs included. Supposed release this early fall - keep your ears open. Check audionetusa.com.
