Thank you for the feedback. It would be difficult enough to travel around and these players at various dealers or at shows...and impossible to hear all of the variety of choices with my own system in my listening room.
The dCS Puccini player sounds great. It is just the obsessive urge some of us have to upgrade. The Esoteric Grandioso K-1 would be a good choice, albeit expensive, and some have suggested it sounds "too digital."
Other suggestions have included the T+A PDP 3000 player, an MSB combination (DAC and transport=$$$), or a Luxman D-08.
In any event, feedback is appreciated, and I am glad to be a member of this forum. - Gerry
