I dont know, In my case, I find the BDP-93 punchier and cleaner than the BDP-93 NuForce Edition.
I use single ended triode Trafomatic amp (8W/p ch) integrated and single point drivers speakers (no horns), my speakers reveal speed and pin point accuracy, however, although the NuForce Edition may sound seamless and pleasant (in the right system), I do find that on tracks that tend to boogey hard, the NuForce Edition just sounds a bit too wooly for my ears, I havent tried the NuForce Extreme Edition yet, but its on the cards. Perhaps that will change the balance and impact that I am looking for. For instance I find the BDP-95 more like the old Theta's, all out punchy and clean with just a hint of liquid warmth where it counts. The 93NE on the other hand is just trying too hard to sound like tubes, old tubes even.
I hope that the NXE (NuForce Xtreme Edition) will shift that balance while retaining the midband magic were all so crave?
