Anyone compared the new meitner gear to the modded sony scd-1 and the accuphase and esoteric gear?

In 6 months or so I will have a dedicated room. For now, everything is a mishmash. I had the SCD-1, unmodded and the Accuphase DP-85. Neither can hold a candle to the Dac6, CDSD and Switchman that I have now. I had the highly regarded CTC Blowtorch, a superb preamp and am now happily using the Switchman as my primary controller. I also run my home theater and soon my analog system through it. David Shapiro

I have heard some of the others you ask about, but not in my system or room, etc. However, the switchman is also multichannel, the reason that I have it.FWIW, my main amp is a Boulder 2060 and my multichannle is a VK6200. My main speakers are Dynaudio temptations and my surrounds are C-4's. David Shapiro
