RE: Esoteric IS build quality?

Yeah, I know what you mean aboug the Sony's. Years ago I owned the Sony SCD-1 which performance-wise was a joke.

Replaced the SCD-1 with a custom APL unit which was significantly more musical. Then came the Esoteric UX-3SE which was even far more musical than the custom APL CDP.

I don't get it with Sony's SCD-1. Sony was pushing SACD big time and their flagship model SCD-1 weighing 62 lbs. barely sounded any better than their DVP-9000es retailing for $1200. And I mean barely.

Boy, I was glad to get rid of that one.
