Muse model 9 sig CD player how good?

I own a Sony DVPS9000ES and wonder how a Muse model 9 would compare to it or others I have had in my system. I have also listened to a Meridian 508/24 and Sony SCD1. I especially liked the Meridian.

I like a neutral sonic signature and especially hate overly powerful/thick bass.

I especially care about the CD redbook and DVD sound as I watch movies quite often and do not really care about the high rez formats.

My system is: Audio Note Soro SE, JM Reynaud Trentes with Audience AU 24 IC and JMR HP 216A speaker bi wire.

Any recommendations/comparisons are appreciated

thanks

I owned a 9 sig for about 3 years. It was a generation 3 unit. I miss it. I should have never sold it. It replaced a Wadia 850. I like the Muse better.

The muse will compete with the Meridian.

Make sure you get the Signature version. It has a much better analog output stage than the normal 9.
