Muse model 9 sig CD player how good?


I own a Sony DVPS9000ES and wonder how a Muse model 9 would compare to it or others I have had in my system. I have also listened to a Meridian 508/24 and Sony SCD1. I especially liked the Meridian.

I like a neutral sonic signature and especially hate overly powerful/thick bass.

I especially care about the CD redbook and DVD sound as I watch movies quite often and do not really care about the high rez formats.

My system is: Audio Note Soro SE, JM Reynaud Trentes with Audience AU 24 IC and JMR HP 216A speaker bi wire.

Any recommendations/comparisons are appreciated

thanks

I upgraded my 9 sig gen3 to a 10, the improvement in cd playback was audible and significant, but not jaw droppingly different - a bit more clarity in the midrange and a bit more smooth and extended on the top - not that it wasn't good before. I would hold off on the universal model 11 - uless you need sacd - Kevin Halverson will admit that the redbook playback on the 10 is better than on the 11. So, I think you will really enjoy the model 9 sig - its a great player!
