Of all the CDps that you list here, the only one I've heard was the Arcam, and think of it as a great sounding CDP. The Cambridge Audio should be good also, but I've got the 640 which is a superb player by all counts. The 540 is a step down and don't know how much difference there is between the two. The Sonys should be excellent too. All the best
 
The Sonys might have the issue of unavailability of replacement laser pickups (I'm not positive on this point, though, but I've read several times about it). I would rather go for the Arcam or Cambridge Audio. Do you have a change to audition these several CDPs?
