Any CD/SACD player is so dependent on what it plays INTO that I would find it impossible to describe its sound objectively. Like others, I could tell you whether it sounds "right" or better than another player with which I have immediate experience in my own system, but that's about all.

For instance, I've had a variety of Sony SACD/CD players, topped by the $3K (MSRP) XA-777ES, and thought they all sounded like hell on CDs. Others, with different systems, rooms and priorities, loved them.

I had it for a short time, for Redbook only. You can safely skip it. - carcass93 14:37:16 09/15/14 (2)

Well... that's the thing - "better", especially with digital, always means pretty much the same, IME. - carcass93 13:05:18 09/16/14 (0)
