I have had both Callisto 2100 and 2200 at home. I also had Plinius 8100 (but not the newer 9200) and SA102.
Both Plinius and Gryphon have a very distinctive sonic signatures, and a VERY different ones at that.
Gryphon is a typical #1 flavor (i.e. very transparent and detailed) and Plinius is a very strong flavor #2 (warm and organic).
For a detailed description of what I mean by both flavors, look at Teejay's thread "Reference DACs - an overall perspective".
BTW - Callisto 2200 is no longer made. It was replaced by Gryphon Diablo - also #1 flavor.
