I've compared both, not in the same system. I did not like either of them. While auditioning the planet, I preferred an adcom gcd-750 in balanced mode side by side. When I auditioned the Classe I was comparing it to Rotel 991. I thought both were too laid back and lacked PRAT. If your looking in this price range you might want to consider a modded Sony SACD.
