What are the sonic DISADVANTAGES of the 840c?


Hello again,
I have been reading, with interest, all the rave reviews of the Cambridge Azur 840c cd players sonics online, and on various forums.
Ok,
To those who have owned and then sold the 840c, or have listened to it, and did not care awhole lot for its sonics:
What are the sonic DISADVANTAGES of the 840c in comparison to higher priced and better built units?
In what ways is it not in the same league with the "big dogs"?
I am not trying to start an argument, I am just curious, so don't take this thread in the wrong way.
Thanks for your answers.

The differences between the better "mega-buck" players and the Cambridge 840C are really quite small in most respects. Some may be preferred for a particular characteristic or handle SACD or DVD-A, but the Cambridge presentation is simply detailed and neutral with CD. The recording sets the quality level, just as it should be. Tizz, boom, "velvety" midrange and the like are departures from accuracy and always wear thin over time. If looking for coloration, search elsewhere.
