Music Hall Trio / Arcam Solo / etc.?

I am interested in the new generation of one-box players such as the Music Hall Trio and the Arcam Solo, but I can't find many reviews of them (particularly the Trio).

At the moment I have an NAD C340 amp (50 watts) and an 8-year old NAD CD-player. Could someone venture an opinion on whether one of the one-boxers would offer an improvement in sound? I'd also be curious to know how the Music Hall Trio's CD player would compare to the Music Hall CD-25.

Last, are there other comparable one-box players that I should be aware of? $1600 would be my upper price limit. I don't really care whether the unit includes a tuner or not.

Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. I would still be curious to hear from anyone who is able to comment on the sound quality of these units.

Knownothing,

This is very helpful! Thanks so much for taking the time to post.

I would also be interested to hear any comments about build quality that you (or anyone else) might be able to offer, particularly where the durability of drawers and buttons is concerned. I found one reference to "mushiness" of buttons on the Solo (though I guess that is not necessarily a sign of low durability in itself).
