Yesterday's Spinners

I'm curious just how good, both as digital processors and CD spinners, a couple of state-of-the-art players from yesterday compare with the best of today.

I have to assume that the new Luxman D-10x has to surpass the Luxman D-08u in some way. 

And I see Soulution has chosen to no longer offer a spinner. So, just how good is the discontinued Soulution 541?
