TRL Sony 2000es or RAM Toshiba 3960


These two highly achieving players are similiarly priced with mods.
How do they compare?
Is one better?
I've read great things about them both.
If I like a detailed, fast, open, neutral, transparent sound, which one is for me?
Or maybe I'll get a Benchmark DAC 1!
Thanks for any comments or experiences.

I know. I'm going to have TRL mod an SA-11 as soon as the new units hit the dock.
I recently referred a friend to TRL for the rework of his Toshiba 3960, he's had it back a couple of days now. I'm surprised that such a cheap little player can have such good video. I'd say picture is nearly as good as my DV50s. I think it may be a little thinner than the Sony TRL/2000, but otherwise has good air and resolution and depth. It may change during break-in and get close to my (trl) DV 50 in the bass?
