Onkyo C-7070 Reference CD Player: Are these any good? What are they similar to?

I picked up a used Onkyo 7070 for my secondary system and it sounds very good.  I tried it in my primary system (CJ monoblocks and CJ ET 5 through old PSB Stratus Gold i speakers) and it fell short of the Musical Fidelity M6CD Player (older 2011 model).  But, this is a $700 vs $2,500 comparison.  The sound was clean, but soundstage was more compressed.  Having said that, for the $300 I paid for the 7070, I would buy another one just for a spare.  Very nice sounding.
