I finally Got my Gamut CD1-R "Revised" and the wait was definitely worth it, I was looking for those same things, plus the new gamut looks way better than those review pictures.. (no Gold, and the RED Display is now green, all silver front aluminium face).
Otherwise don't forget the Meridian 508.24 players are amazing and can be had used for under $2k, try to get the real deal not an upgraded the 508.20 (Drawer Problem periodically, but great support)
The BAT will warm up your system but might not have the detail the newer above provide.
