I have a 9 year old parts connexion modded Shanling T-200 CD player and just sold my new 7 month old 5400ES. On Sony, bass was a little better and a smidgen more detail but Shanling was more musical and analog sounding. And looks better. The heavy aluminum frame on Shanling probably helps block out RFI. Plus it looks way cool.
Sony SCD-777ES vs current Players
I have been using my Sony SCD-777ES SACD Player for 10 years without any problems, it's built like a tank and sounds great to me.
However, I'm looking to buy a new Blu-Ray player and wonder how current universal players compare with my machine in terms of Audio playback of CDs and the occasional SACD.
Also, how do modern stand alone CD players compare with it?
Am I able to improve on the sound quality with a modest outlay?
Thanks for your help.
