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

Posted by thebordas on February 24, 2012 at 09:05:36:
Owned the Sony stock and Modwrighted. Demo'd the Mcintosh's and Ayre at length recently when shopping for a new front end to replace the XA5400 full Modwrighted player....lot's of choices indeed. I wound up trying the Denon A100 from Music Direct for 30 day trial while I was checking out the other players. Bottom line is that the Denon won my heart and was a freakin steal at $1500 (comparable players would cost at least $5K or more). Dynamic, extended with ZERO digital artifacts, warmth and oodles of inner detail. Most of all, instruments sound dead on accurate tonaly! Beguilingly so in fact....I sit in on Orchestral practices at the local high schools and college. It just don;t get much better if at all:O) Don't believe me?? Try one if they have any left.
