I previously owned a modded Ayon CD-5s and am now running an Aesthetic Romulus tube cd player. The Romulus is certainly analogue sounding. It has as similar sound to the CD-5s, albeit with less bass slam and fewer bells and whistles.

Sony SCD XA5400ES with the ModWright Ultimate Truth Mod. Upgraded the stock Sovtek 6SN7 output tubes to Sophia Electric 6SN7 and the stock Sovtek 5AR4 rectifier tube to a NOS Philips 5R4GYS. A pair of WyWire Juice II Silver power cords complete the package. Works really well with both my Shindo and Audio Research systems. |
Chris_Launder, Here's the link to ModWright's website. http://www.modwright.com/modifications/sony-xa5400es.php ModWright did an excellent job and the build quality was great. My analog/digital playback ratio is ~70/30 and I don't think I'll be upgrading from my digital setup any time soon. Happy Listening. |
