Opinion Needed

Which would you choose for the better redbook CD playback: The Sony SCD-XA5400ES or the Krell SACD Standard Mark 3?

Thanks All

Demo'd one a couple months ago and it sounded very, very nice! Passed on it since I'm now into streaming my cd library and into analog.

I really miss it. I haven't decided which DAC I will buy to replace it, but a part of me is tempted to go back and buy another 5400.
