Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e

I read that thread about the sony and I wasent sure I beleived everything, not that i thought people were lieing, Have you ever met a bunch of people who all have the same thing and they never say anything negative about it, so you wonder if there realy being objective, or are they just complimenting there own equipment. Thats kinda how I felt when I read it.

Has anyone on here tried anything from esoteric or naim?
I havent decided on the sony just yet.

where have you been...

The 5400ES has received more press, than ALL Sony
products combined.

Check out all the forums.

Some consider it the "greatest thing since the microwave!"

ha,ha,ha.

Oh and "experience" with the Sony, is what you meant,
right?

What about Marantz,
"Ken Ishiwata is probably the highest profile personality in this industry. An eloquent talker and stylish dresser, he is courted by the world’s press and instantly recognised by the buying public. Nonetheless, few people appreciate the depth of his involvement with the company for which he has worked for more than two decades, Marantz." -The British Audio Journal-

Never A-B tested the two, but with the Level 2 Underwood Modifications, the Marantz has to be heard to appreciate.

Jonnyblaze: That's the risk of forums like these.
Do you think most owners will say anything negative about something they own and may want to sell in the future?

Well, that's certainly a possibility. It's also possible that the player is actually very good. I guess you might be forced into the horrible possiblity of listening to the thing before making a purchase.
