I really like the Simaudio Nova. If I could live without SACD, I would own a Nova LE right now - that's how much I like it. But my dealer had both the Nova and Unidisk 1.1 in the same system and I thought the Nova was clearly better on Redbook.The Marantz DV-8400 is not as good as the Unidisk, I agree with that. But I found both to share some similar characteristics, with the most obvious differences being that the Linn had better resolution & transparency and a wider soundstage. Also, the Marantz was missing some low bass. I can't really say much about the dynamics except that the Nova sounded faster and more dynamic than the Unidisk, and that every piece of Marantz gear I've tried lacks dynamics. I did think that both the DV-8400 and Unidisk were overly smooth, too laid back, and shared a somewhat lightweight presentation.
I know you love your Ikemi. Maybe we just have different preferences. I haven't heard the Ikemi, but I suspect part of it is that the Ikemi is a better Redbook player than the Unidisk.
