I listened to a 1055 a couple times but perferred my C333ES in terms of build as well as sound quality. The 333ES has a better defined soundstage and is more coherent from top to bottom.
I used to have a CAL Icon Mk 2 which basically has the same circuits as the changers (10 and 15) and it didn't sound nearly as good as the C333ES - the CAL was "muddier" for lack of a better word and didn't convey as much detail. It was also prone to problems and getting it repaired was near impossible.
