To be BLUNT...

Posted by Allen Wright on September 15, 2009 at 09:14:02:
...the SONY clock in the 5400ES is absolutely BASIC, with a cheap 50 cent xtal driven by a logic gate contained in IC152 in a very conventional two capacitor bridge network. This is obvious from the schematic on page 30 of the PDF Service manual.

How any "Digital Expert" can consider this to be good is beyond me, and many alternate clock manufacturers, not just Vacuum State, have made a good living from suppling much advanced clocks to replace this minimalistic setup in a wide range of players, not just the 5400ES.

Your opinion is your opinion, and maybe someday you will get your hands on an Upgraded 5400ES to test in your SONY receiver setup. Then you will know if it is an improvement or not - until then your comments are just OPINION!
