I can't imagine anyone thinking the Sony's CD playback is terrible. That is certainly not my impression. Again, the Sony is the best built machine I have ever seen.

Side by side one machine to the other, the Denon is MUCH better in CD playback. The Sony soundstage was extremly flat with no depth. Only with SACD did the Sony sound good. I couldnt wait to unload it.
