Linn Ikemi or Nu-vista 3d to replace a Linn Genki?

How much of an improvement will I get by replacing my Linn Genki with either the Ikemi or 3d?

It is seriously one of the top cd players in the world now. At all the stereo shows people have been using this player to show off their products. I would personally say that this player competes more with the linn cd 12 than the ikemi. It is a very special piece that is worth fay beyond its list price.

The Genki will make a good transport. The Chord DAC is extremely close to the CD 12 and costs only about $3000. Within the last 18 months, I have bought a Genki, upgraded to the much superior Ikemi and ditched the Ikemi to get a DAC 64!
