I just want to address one point. Having good redbook CD playback is crucial. But don't give others the impression that it does nearly as well as SACD. Sure, there are some SACDs that may actually sound worse. However, when it comes to genuine DSD recordings there's no "hyperbole" about SACD, it is THAT good. And don't toss HDCD into this either, HDCD is not important.
I fight every single one "my expensive CD redbook player sounds better than SACD" post on audio forums. It is disinformation.
That said, I am glad to hear MF is a good redbook performer. Red book performance is obviously very important and will continue to be for another decade or two.
