Used Classe CDP 0.3 or new Music Hall CD25?


I listen to all types of music. Rest of system is Classe DR6 preamp, B&K EX4420 amp, Paradigm Studio 60v2 speakers, LAT 100 interconnects and LAT biwire.

Listening is not an option, I have no nearby dealers in my area.

Thanks.

The reviews I've seen about the Classe have been lukewarm -- OK, but no outright raves.

The larger questions is interesting. For the same price range, is it better to buy a current player or a high-quality player with a few years on it? DACs and DSPs continue to evolve, but I'm not sure how quickly the state of the art changes. As another example, would a Theta Miles best, say, a modded Jolida J100 or tricked-out Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Music Hall CD25?

I'm facing a CD upgrade, and I'm in the same boat. Please let us know how you decide.
