Anybody knows about the Lindeman D 680?
There was a rave review over at AA
about the player:

and I wonder if anybody had a chance to comapre both players? The Lindemann has become the reference player of the German Stereo magazine and it plays SACDs also, which makes it really interesting for me.
My German audio dealer friend told me, he had a chance to listen to both and prefered the Lindemann. It is not because he is biased to make a quick sale, he does not carry either of the brands and would have to order both, so he could care less which brand a customer wants to buy.
BTW, the Lindeman seems to be machined out of piece of solid aluminium, so no "Mickey Mouse" drawer here, as one guy writes. This might not be important for the sound, but I always like well-built components.
