hi-end universal players?

Linn's Unidisk, Goldmund, the new Theta Compli, MSB Platinum Universal, Bell Canto, Esoteric etc etc...

How do they compare?

How do they compare on CDs with the better CD players?

Which one the best in terms of CD? SACD? DVD-A?

Given the age of uncertainty, but a personal interest in high-rez, I am tempted to just go with an universal player, though concerned all that circuity, especially for video, will degrade the quality...how about you?

the key question for me is how good is it playing CDs which is by far prevalent software I use

the secondly SACD

then actually it would be picture quality, then finally DVD-A, given the lack of software

so by just judging by CD, which player is the best?

I briefly tested the unidisk and found it a bit disappointing, though perhaps it was I ABed ti against the Linn CD12.
