My objection to Sony's 1st and 2nd generation flagship SACD players was that they sounded, to me, so blah playing CDs. Given that there were so few SACDs available at the time -- and I had a ton of CDs -- I could never, for long, justify the price just to play SACD. When I got a Raysonic 128 tubed CD player after hearing it simply destroy my XA-777ES on Redbook, I figured the XA had to go while it still had some value.The Oppo 105 is the first SACD/CD player I've owned that sounds as good on CDs as the Raysonic. Not better, but as good. Let me know if you'd like to hear it when it gets back from Modwright and has a few hours on it. It would be fun to compare it to your stock 105.
