Digital Direct SHOOTOUT


Ok, here it is, the royal shootout of CD players direct into an amp, sans preamp. Who has the best combination of liquid mids, PRAT, great bass, authority and control while maintaining transparency and pinpoint imaging. Let's hear it....

Resolution Audio Opus 21
Audio Aero Capitole MK II
Audio Aero SACD Player
APL Denon 3910
Burmester 001
Meitner CDD Transport/DCC2
Wadia 861
Esoteric D01/P01 combo

Anything else????

I am guessing some of these will offer the best mids, or the best transparency, but overall, which has the best balance of richness and detail?

I'd really like to hear some thoughts on the Museatex Bidat fully moddifed with Museatex transport using a moray james pcm interconnect. I own the bitstream, and have only compared it too the likes of Linn, MF and the likes, but I know a few people think the elderly Bidat can really beat out most of todays "high-end". Having not heard extremely high end CDPS like the one's above I'd like to hear some thoughts from other people.
