Music Hall CD-25 vs. Shanling CD-S100 : Same?

I've tried to figure out the difference between these two players, but they appear to be the same. They have the same drive, servo system, d/a chip, hdcd, op-amp chip and separate power supply for digital and analog, as well as the same look and build. However, in Canada the Music Hall retails for $1,000 and the Shanling for $700. Any thoughts or information out there???

Thanks.
