I still have the Sony, but I haven't used it for several years. I've been using an Oppo 205, and now moved to an Ayre DX-5 DSD. But in fact I rarely spin discs anymore, preferring Roon files via Ethernet to an Ayre QX-5 DAC.
XA5400ES owners - what are you using now?
I am one of many who bought Sony's best 10 years ago, in no small part due to the huge thread here about this player. Well I am ready for a newer player now and I would like something with external DAC inputs. I am considering Yamaha CDS2100\3000, McIntosh MCD500\550, Marantz SA10 and a few Esoteric units. I want to stay with a mainstream brand for service and parts issues down the road.
I'd love to hear what you are using now and how it compares to the 5400.
