Simaudio Supernova vs Oracle CD 1500 MK II

i have not heard the Oracle but have listened to the Supernova many time and had it in my system for a week audition with Simaudio's P7/W7 (which I was also auditioning) and I thought they were excellent together. I think you risk the Oracle not being synergistic with your i7 when you know that the Supernova and i7 have been voiced with one another in mind. You might also want to check out the new digital (300D and 750D) coming from Simaudio soon (Nov launch): http://www.simaudio.com/newproducts.htm

Be smart, stay in the Sim family.

Thanks for the feedback! My hunch is that the Supernova might be a touch warmer than the Oracle CPD after break in even.....and maybe this is not a bad thing.
Reviews seem to suggest that the Supernova does a digital-free warm sound well while still getting across some recording differences. Reviews also suggest that the Oracle is more on the revealing -to-ruthless side around highlighting recording differences, depending on your ancillaries- and probably does dynamics and details a touch better.
One factor is that I'd like a unit that comes to it's full sonic potential after plugged in cold with as little time as possible as it shares an outlet with my TT.
According to Oracle their CPD takes only 30-60 minutes to reach sonic potential whereas Simaudio says that the Supernova needs at least 3-5 hours. I don't use power conditioners because they make my sound far worse-I lose too much in the way of dynamics.

I have Supernova cd player. They recommend the unit be turned on at all times...I haven't heard too many cd players in my system, but Supernova doesn't strike me like it has digital-free warm sound.
