I've heard the Capitole in many different systems over a period of years and it has always stood out as one of the best: IMO. But, as you say, system integration is key. It is a very neutral player, and if you plug it into a non-neutral, low current amp, or warm, bass heavy, speakers: or conversely, - thin sounding speakers: it's not going to sound "optimal."
The overall sonic character of the AA is a little bit different than the Meitner: and it is not as flexible: but it pays big rewards when matched with the right components.
As you said, it is very transparent, and it can be brutally so with noise in the system or in the recording. I have a couple of recordings that were poorly done and were mastered "hot-to-tape:" - the Capitole shredded the brain with high-end distortion. Since so much "detail" comes from the treble ranges, - system gestalt is critical.
I am not trying to "argue" with your experience: just relating mine.
Cheers,

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
