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?

Does anyone know anything at all about Immersive? How long have they been around, any reputation regarding audio, is the audio an OEM kit etc?

Now that I have had time to set up the UDP-1 correctly, the picture to me seems to be VERY good, certainly better than the Toshiba SD 9200 it replaced. I have not yet taken time to run a test disk to check for some of the more objective results, but my eyes say GREAT.

The UDP-1 does red book CD as well as anything I have heard, and that is why I bought it. Paired with the MAP-1, which is also what I have, it really shines. The SACD/DVDA/DVDV options were secondary considerations at the time of purchase, but it does those formats well too.
