Personally I've long ago become convinced that the "sound" of a CD player is the sum of the power supplies, output stages, transport and DAC.
So while the SA7003, SA8003, SA15s2 and KI Pearl SACD players all share a Crystal CS4398 DAC, the rest of their circuits are considerably different. And you only have to go and listen to hear the huge differences between these models despite the fact that they share the same DAC.
