I was pleasantly surprised to notice that my universal player - Simaudio's MOON Orbiter - made the short list in two categories - Digital Source of the Year & Multi-Channel Component of the Year - which in my assessment sounds better than all three universal players released by Linn (but then again, I made my own adjustments to the player's set-up).
On the other hand, I think that Stereophile missed on reviewing a great digital source released this year by Simaudio: MOON Andromeda, which I am sure would have made the short list.
Has anybody listened to the Andromeda - it includes an Internal 24-bit/705.6kHz upsampling using BurrBrown DF1704 Digital Filter with 16X oversampling and has both performance and design enhancements over the MOON Eclipse?!
