compare Krell vs Linn and Jolida cd player

Has anybody compared a Krell KAV280 or 300 cd player with for example a Linn (Ikemi or Karik) or a Jolida JD100A or a Classe CDP10 or 100 ?

It is dynamic, has good base and the highs are great. Several of my friends, on music evenings have also liked it. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Krell of Jolida players.

It's a great player that IMO does everything well from top to bottom. There have been reports of reliability issues with the Krell KAV and SACD players, which concerned me, but I have not had any problems thus far. Can't say that the display is the best (red and dim), but the sound is sure nice.
