hi-end universal players?


Linn's Unidisk, Goldmund, the new Theta Compli, MSB Platinum Universal, Bell Canto, Esoteric etc etc...

How do they compare?

How do they compare on CDs with the better CD players?

Which one the best in terms of CD? SACD? DVD-A?

Given the age of uncertainty, but a personal interest in high-rez, I am tempted to just go with an universal player, though concerned all that circuity, especially for video, will degrade the quality...how about you?

i recently purchased a bel canto player to replace an scd-1. i am more than satisfied. absolutely incredible on all formats. far superior to the esoteric in every way...
dear ryoung...how does the bel canto compare to the Esoteric in more specific terms? do u have it hooked up as a DVD player as well? how is its video quality?
I just made a purchase of the Bel Canto PL-1, I'll let you know what I think when I get it up and running.
