Audiolab 9000cdt vs PS Audio Perfect Wave SACD Transport

Anybody heard both of these units in the same system? Any thoughts about their individual qualities and how they compare with each other?

How about the PS Audio DirectStream Transport vs the Audiolab?

I would be sending the signal to a very good tube DAC and tube amp.

Thanks in advance!
