There's more to it than just reading the disc. There are different, more +/or bigger chips involved. Different dacs, sacd chips...they all draw power, requiring bigger ps, for one thing...It's not really a mechanical issue.
the statement (that I believe originated from Stereophile) was a broad generality imo.
I don't think it was ever meant to imply that it was a truly dificult task to make a good universal; but rather to say universals aren't usually great players.. One man's observation.
It's just general, 'simpler is better' logic (or rant).
