AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet

Hi, Soon i will be looking for a cdp my choices are: Audiomeca Keops($1800 new) Audio Aero Prima(old model $1500 new model?) or a used 24/96 Electrocompaniet ( around $2200 with potential future upgrade $1K). I'm sure you can't go wrong on any of the 3. However a few comments may help me to make the best choice. I have a Jadis Orchestra(40 watt). So i need a cdp with good low frequency resolution. Thanks

Bwhite, I am using the lower version. Are you familiar with the transformers.

I dicovered a definite upgrade with the Mephisto II transport and Enkianthus dac by using the audio tekne cd transformer. This improved the soundstage and the imaging was even more focused. Definitely more analog sounding. I'm still trying to find out what is inside this little box but there is no translation from Japanese. The transformer is used between the dac and the preamp and can be used with an cd player.
