There are a lot of them out there (and a lot of upgrade bugs). I found you have to spend a lot more to better it. Like all players it depends on how, and what you listen to; READ THE REVIEWS. Be advised, mine did not consistantly track CDR's.

I did a good hour comparing the two switching back and forth in the same system and the (forgive my weak grasp of jargon) bass detail, space and openness were noticeably better. A more life-like and cleaner sound; more air around the instruments and more texture to the voices.

I recently upgraded to a Linn Ikemi and while the Linn is an improvement, we are comparing a $3600 player to a $750 player at list. I decided to keep my planet for use in a second system rather than sell it. I've not heard the new planet, so you'll have to let your ears be the judge (as you should anyway, this is a very subjective hobby).
