Difference between these really good CD players

I am looking at getting a good quality cd player, and these names have come up:
EMC-I MK II 24/192
Audio Aero Capitole 24/192
Audiomeca Mephisto 24/192
Musical Fidelity Nuvista 3D 24/96
There seems to be some threads here on the first three players, but none on the MF Nuvista 3D. However the musical fidelity seems to have very good reviews (apparently the CD playback quality is almost similar to SACD quality). Anybody has done some comparisons with these players? Any comments will be very much appreciated.

Rule # 1.Dont read reviews.
The reviewer's ears are not your's.

I agree. You have to decide for yourself. I would also consider the manufacturer's responsiveness. No matter how good the products are, it would be the manufacturer's attitude, service, and accessibility if and when something goes wrong. In that sense as well as quality associated with reputation, I would add Cary's 306/200 to the audition list (all on your list are non-US products). Good hunting! Ken

The Cary Is a Double A Ball product.It does not deserve to be mentioned.
And what is the problem with all them being NON USA.I thought we where interested in Sonics not Politic's.

i own one of these. and i do agree with natalie, my entire system is derived from products from elsewhere than the us, other than cables and tweaks. listen to as many as you can, and you make that sonically pleasing plunge...
