Puccini+Uclock vs APL NWO 4.0 SE vs PD MPS-5


Surely some of you have compared these 3 CD-SACD players, the Puccini with the U-clock vs the others two, my questions is how they compares between them, mostly when are used to play CD.

SECOND:if you think that the PD or the APL are a better option-sound than the Puccini+Uclock , the second question can be: As I own the Puccini with the U-clock, and here Europe, is practically imposible to hear the PD and very difficult the APL, do you think that the option of to buy one Scarlatti DAC, and use the Puccini as transport, can be better than the APL or the PD. Thanks.

Jonathan,
This is a very interesting comment: "There is too much distortion and noise produced by tubes." considering that the second and third order harmonic distortion that John Atkinson measured during his measurements for the Stereophile review of the Playback Design unit appears to be a deliberate attempt to add and emulate an exciter/enhancement tube-like distortion, in firmware. Would you please comment on this observation?
