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

Phil
