Real comparisons like these, between multiple models in the same system, even at different pricepoints - is what really grabs my attention. Thanks for this. So it seems that Sony is indeed quite a little performer. It's interesting that you found McIntosh model so engaging, usually people complain about McIntosh being so "syrupy" and "boring". I wonder if their 500 SACD player can give you almost the same results at half the price. I'm missing the boat because I want multi/channel, but it's getting tiresome on letting all these great 2ch players go by.
Have you tried Oppo 95 in you system? What about Marantz 7S1?
