Music Hall CD-25 vs. Shanling CD-S100 : Same?

I've tried to figure out the difference between these two players, but they appear to be the same. They have the same drive, servo system, d/a chip, hdcd, op-amp chip and separate power supply for digital and analog, as well as the same look and build. However, in Canada the Music Hall retails for $1,000 and the Shanling for $700. Any thoughts or information out there???

Thanks.

Here's a picture of the Music Hall remote and review.

I recently read a different review which stated the Shanling and Music Hall versions had different remotes...and that it prompted the reviewer to conjecture that Music Hall had done other internal changes to the stock Shanling unit as well.

Sorry, tried to find that review again but have not been successful.
More to discover
