Artemus,
I also own a Pearl transport and to answer your question yes, it does play CD-R's. I've got a copied version of a burn in disc playing right now! I took home a Planet for a couple of days, and then the the Theta Pearl. I feel the Theta to be more dynamic, and with better inner retrieval of detail. I'm using a Pro Basic IIIa for the DAC, which is the same configuration that the Miles is using internally.
If you need laid back, then get the Planet, i'm sorry Planet owners, I was not impressed by this player, as much as I wanted to be! It sounded good, but that's all it did do, the Theta was immediate wow, that's what I've been missing.
