I've had both players; the MF A3.2 CD player for a couple of months and finally sold it, and have now been using the MBL CDP2 for more than a year and prefer the CDP2.
I compared both in my home environment and at the dealers and to my ears the A3.2 CD seem to have a smoothing effect in the treble range and the bass seem to lack some impact. The MBL certainly had more detail and had comparitively a fuller base than the MF player. The MBL does not boast upsamplng/oversampling but just gets the basics right IMO.
