Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox

I have heard and read much about the Jolida JD 100 both stock and mod versions. I have also found the Simaudio products to be very attractive, specifically the Moon Equinox. I was wondering if anyone had any experiemce with any of these players for comparison purposes. Also, just general experiemces with them individually.

Also, I have noted that there are many Jolida mod shops out there. Does anyone have a preference or opinion on them as well as opinions on the stock versus mod units.

Thanks for the responses. It's a tough call on my end. I would be running the Jolida or Sim with the following gear: Cary V12i stereo tube amp, N.E.W. (Cary) P-3 tube pre-amp, Spendor 1/2e speakers. I currently have a Quad-77 cdp and have been testing it with a Musical Fidelity X-10 v3.

If you like tubes, you won't really like the Simaudio IMO. I have only heard their integrateds but they definately weren't tubey sounding - very much SS. I went for the Jolida with upgraded NOS tubes and couldn't be happier. Replacing the stock tubes added $1000 worth of value to my CDP. Arthur
