My very first CD player was Sony's CDP-520ESII, which I got in April 1987. I think I bought an NAD 5000 in January or February 1992. That allowed me to bring the old Sony down to UCSC.

During my senior year, 1992-93, I had the Sony CDP-520ESII the entire year, while I was in Santa Cruz. Interestingly, this was when the CDP-X707ES was made.

Though the CDP-X707ES does not sound like many of today's CD players [for some listeners, that is a very good thing], it was vastly superior to my old CDP-520ESII. The X707ES looked much classier, still operated quickly enough, had a coaxial digital output, and was free of the "digititis," which plagued the 520ESII.

If you don't want to go through the expense, time, and effort to change any of the 707's parts, pay attention to AC quality. My X707ES did have enough resolution, that AC wall outlets made significant changes. The wrong AC outlet can make you go, "Meh, the 707 isn't worth the effort." But the right AC outlet can make you smile, "Hey, this way better than I thought possible."
