To Sanctuary of Sound writer: If you're going to put such a teaser on this thread (the "shootout"), then at least give more details about what you heard among those CDP's. I realize you may be reluctant to comment on brands that you don't carry, and if so then please don't contribute to this forum which is supposed to be free of profit motivations. But it should be possible to describe relative sonic differences ("flavors") among the players you listed, even when all are very good.
