I compared Arcam FMJ CD37 & Sony XA5400ES

I recently auditioned in my home for two weeks the new Arcam SACD Player.
My impressions were that it sounded like excellent hifi but was warm sounding in my system.I found it a distraction and had difficulity enjoying the music at times,listeing to the presentation.
I currently own the Sony XA5400ES and it is only out of the box a few hours.
I prefer the Sony over the FMJ CD37
The Music is transparent,uncolored & sounds authentic.
The bass is lacking but I'm certain it will improve.
My goodness for $1150 this is a wonderful SACD/CD Player.
I will try to answer any follow up questions on the two Players.
