I wrote about the DU-50 last year. So, to that extent, I think your premise (which seems to be that some products' being overlooked evidences a hidden agenda) is faulty.
Furthermore, I have submitted a column that will feature the Luxman D-05 SACD/CD player, and the Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, it will see print sooner rather than later.
There is only so much space in the magazine and only so much time in a year. The space that I recently devoted to three under-$1000 network-ready CD Receivers (from TEAC, Marantz, and Denon) was space that could not be dedicated to Denon's $2500 anniversary model, which I got PR materials on by email, but was just too jammed up to pursue.
There is an element of either randomness or of serendipity in all this. As far as I know, the process is agenda-free--other than listening hard and evaluating fairly.
