Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D?

About 6 months ago Michael Fremer reviewed the 650D in Stereophile and apparently preferred it to his Playback Designs player. Yet the 650D is placed in the B category in Stereophile's most recent rankings, while the Playback Designs is in the A listings. Very strange....has anyone heard the 650D and compared it to some of the elite players?

Yes, I've read the review....I'd like to hear from Audiogoners who have heard the Simaudio 650D.

Camb,
Stereophile has not reviewed the 750D....it's not in the rankings at all. I actually erred in that the 650D is in the A Class, while the Playback is A+ which still doesn't make sense according to Fremer's review, unless the lack of SACD capability of the former is the culprit. I noticed that the Sony 5400 SACD player as stock is ranked A+.....does this mean the Modwright version would be AAA+++???
I tried out the 750D at home and found it a little over-the-top, kinda hi-fi sounding.
