Audio Aero Capitole II is more transparent and musical than the audiomeca. These are the only 2 I am familiar with and continue to own the Audio Aero
I have to agree with golden ears. If your are going to spend that much money you should definitely demo them or at least get a loaner. Other things to consider if you need a player with volume controls if you are not using a preamp. System matching, audiomeca Mephisto II may not have enough gain with certain preamps.
I believe people were trying to help you from making an expensive mistake. Enjoy your cdplayer
