Wadia 631 grainy and "dirty" sounding vs ML 390s

I have heard the ML 390S. Excellent player. However, I have been told in comparison that the ML 390S is cleaner sounding compared to the Wadia 631 which sounds "dirty" in comparison. Does anyone else have a similar response?

Are there any other players in the 7K-8K range that exceeds these two in performance, build etc?

Gnsc -- good point. I was referring to the standard 861. Thanks

Those are very good players IMO, and I would agree that the ML could have the edge over the 631 (but perhpas not the bigger Wadia). As to "better" sounding one-piece cdp's, it's a matter of taste; my tastes (classical music) would opt for a Lindemann (the big cd/sacd model) or an A. Aero Capitole.

As to build quality -- I find of the above players very good -- comparatively speaking
