In terms of emulating the SID, I don't think there's too much difference between them.
The quality is directly linked to the speed; when it's playing, enter >FF00 into the MONITOR to see what it is. "Tarzan's new converter" in Gomagani is just running a lot faster than the others. At $29, it's twice as fast as the next closest one, and about 21KHz. You can only do that with the screen off. Otherwise there's no other magic trick (well, maybe it "cheats" by emulating less features of the SID, e.g. something like simplified ADSR, or not taking ADSR into consideration at all).
Edit: and to answer the above (I'm surprised this even came up), the loader in Coby TCL mega is actually loading (while playing wave-converted music). I mean we watched this back in the day on the real iron many times, plus you can easily verify it in YAPE.
