hi-end universal players?

Linn's Unidisk, Goldmund, the new Theta Compli, MSB Platinum Universal, Bell Canto, Esoteric etc etc...

How do they compare?

How do they compare on CDs with the better CD players?

Which one the best in terms of CD? SACD? DVD-A?

Given the age of uncertainty, but a personal interest in high-rez, I am tempted to just go with an universal player, though concerned all that circuity, especially for video, will degrade the quality...how about you?

I had considered several high end players, including the DV-50, Unidisk, Compli and RT-10, but the route that I am giving a go is to have Dan Wright modify a Denon 5900 for me. The stock 5900 is a respectable machine (especially after the latest firmware upgrade), and Dan's mods have had rave reviews here on Audiogon and elsewhere. While I am a bit nervous about purchasing a product and having it extensively modified without first having heard a similarly modded player, from all I have read, and from my communications with Dan, I feel very optimistic.

It'll be a while before it comes in, but I'll be sure to share my results.

Tom.
