Puccini+Uclock vs APL NWO 4.0 SE vs PD MPS-5

Surely some of you have compared these 3 CD-SACD players, the Puccini with the U-clock vs the others two, my questions is how they compares between them, mostly when are used to play CD.

SECOND:if you think that the PD or the APL are a better option-sound than the Puccini+Uclock , the second question can be: As I own the Puccini with the U-clock, and here Europe, is practically imposible to hear the PD and very difficult the APL, do you think that the option of to buy one Scarlatti DAC, and use the Puccini as transport, can be better than the APL or the PD. Thanks.

Where in Europe are you? We have plenty of distribution in Europe. It should be fairly easy to hear one,

Thanks for your reply, but I´m surprised that so few people owns one of these 3 CD players, and also by the fact that the owners of these 3 brands, did not made a comparation between them before to take his decision, I hope that more answers come to this post.Thanks.

When I was looking for à digital source I auditionef some of the biggest combos from some of the biggest brands, among the were MBL and Weiss, nothing was close to the NWO-3.0-SE. The 4.0-SE is significantly better than the 3.0-SE and IMHO cant be touched by anything in the market. But only way to decide for yourself is to audition. A plane ride and hotel is à very low cost compared to the players so if the machine cant come to you maybe you can come to the machine.
