The differences between the two players might be more noticable in a more transparent system, but sometimes the differences aren't that obvious. That is why A/B testing can be confusing.
Some would argue that it there is not immediate differences decernable by A/B testing, that there are no worthwhile differences.
About a year ago, I changed out the stock power tubes in my amps. I thought I heard a slight difference in the sound upon changing them, but it was subtle. I came to the conclusion that the power tubes didn't make that much difference. The tubes may have needed some breaking in. Recently, I had problems with a few of my power tubes, so I ordered spares and rather than mix and match brands, put the stock tubes back in there. I found the sound nearly unlistenable. I ended up having to retube the amps.
Something that might not be obvious in a quick A/B test can gain significance over time. I find that the best way to judge a new component is over time. Subtle differences can make a big difference in the longer run. To the average guy on the street, they might never notice the difference.
