RE: Impressions: sony xa5400 vs Ayre cx-5e mp vs Mcintosh mcd-1100

To be honest, if the transport wouldn't have started misreading discs and if one of the capacitors didn't give out I may have stuck with it:O) The cheap transport was my main long term concern overall. I happened to have gotten very close to what I payed for the whole rig from some wealthy, multisystem gentleman that wanted to have one immediately:O) Plus I got my stock unit for only $1K !
As for comparison, I have only to rely on sonic memory. If you are comfortable with assuming the potential risk of repairs, some of which will be covered by Modwright for example, for their work, then go for it. The Denon A100 for me, combined with my Yaquin tube buffer get's me close enough with 5 years warranty and a far superior build quality.
