BAT VK-D5SE CD Player for Wilson Audio Sophias


I'm cosidering the BAT CD Player for my System (Wilson Sophia/Krell Pre-Amp.&Amp.). I'm also considering the "Ayre CX-7e", "ARC CD3" and "Krell SACD Standard".
Any suggestions on these Players? or experience with these source components and Sophias?
Is the BAT VK-D5SE a good match for the Wilsons?

The BAT is a very warm cd player, with plenty of richness and weight. It presents a laid-back soundstage, you're sitting in row M. Not very dynamic or detailed when compared to other players. Depending on your tastes and the rest of your system, this might be a good match for you. I personally found the Wadia 860x to be much better, for me... more alive, exciting and engaging, but never brittle or shrill sounding.
