Anyone still using this player? Sony DVP-S9000ES


I had this player at one time,...and my memory has, likely, kept a better audio memory than it may have actually had.  Am I simply having a fond old memory, or is this still a good player for audio?  Any experience?  Thanks.

I have one and it is still used in my main system. I think it has a natural sound and is an excellent player. This was Sony’s high end player at one time and while it is a little dated I still don’t think it is the weak link in my system. In full disclosure I haven’t compared it head to head to modern $1000+ CD players so YMMV. Picked it up a couple years ago for ~$200 and couldn’t be happier. For what I paid nothing else can compare. When it eventually dies I already know I got my moneys worth.

I just use it to listen to CDs with it so I don’t care if it doesn’t have a HDMI hookup or if it can play the newest DVDs. According to the internet as they get older they can have problems playing SACDs but I never tried one.
I still have one in my 2 channel system, used as a transport for SACD into a Bryston DAC3.  It has a weird quirk in that it always starts playing discs about two seconds into the disc, which others have noted is a function of the HDMI interface.  I also have an Oppo 105 in the same system and that is what I prefer to use.  I keep the Sony in case anything happens to the Oppo.
I still have mine and bought it new 20ish years ago. At some point it became finicky with less than perfect discs. It still sounds great, especially with SACD.
A beautiful, overbuilt to-a-fault (solid copper chassis) first of its kind SACD player. Bought as soon as it came out (early adopter). The problem was it wouldn't play half of the SACD discs I tried.
Sony could not fix (tried twice). Paid something like $1500 full retail. Sold for $150. Worst audio experience ever.
I have one as my transport. Heavy, solid CD player. Mine will play SACDs, but on hybrids it will only play the CD layer. As I am streaming more, spinning has become less important.
