Trade-off between soundstage vs. PRAT

I just received my Musical Fidelity Cd-Pre24 and notice that the soundstage is a little narrower than my previous setup, has obtained more depth. I've read from somewhere which says that upsampling tend to make soundstage narrower but increase depth. I don't know if this is true for most cd player.

Also, players that tend to have large soundstage usually gives up a little in the PRAT department.

Any comments?
