This dealer has since ceased audio retail business and has moved on to start up a record label with a partner that produces D2D LPs and SACDs that are highly regarded. According to him, whenever he was making a demo, he would secretly repeat tracks to improve the sound. He was told about this problem by one of his Indonesian customers. I got to know of this after I related this problem to him.The current Singapore Wadia dealer, who incidentaly also carries the Naim products, also admitted both these products are susceptable to this problem. Originally I thought that the Naim players would be free from this problem as suggested by Ole Lund Christensen.
So far, the only 2 products that I know of which are not affected by this problem are the DCS Verdi/Elgar and the Ed Meitner DAC-8/modified SCD-1. Both combo are using SOTA data memory buffer/reclocking techniques at the DAC stage which discard the original jitter-embedded clock data and re-generating a clean new bitsream with a clock isolated from power ripples. Both products are confirmed to be free from this problem by 2 separate trusted sources.
The Pioneer DV-S755Ai and VSX-A10i which supposedly use similar techniques through the iEEE1394 digital interface, however, wasn't as effective in eliminating this problem.
What you said mirrors almost my own thoughts. If this dirty secret becomes common knowledge, hopefully someone will design a transport that will play "right" no matter how one accesses the tracks, and AT AFFORDABLE PRICES!
