It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k

Thanks Merganser, Joild is modified ny parts connection and I have changed the tube not exactly sure what so I have in there now (RCA 5751) as I tried number of then and settled on current one for last 3-4 years.

Agree with your comment on the power cord, the improvement was huge when I changed the PC from stock to signal, never experienced that kind of improvement after chaning anythig else (Jolida 1301 ->> odyssey stratos --> Odyseey Stratos extreme)

Is it the best in its price range , no . Is it very good , yes .

Not sure whether you are talking about power cord or CD player .. the reason I am asking as if its PC then I would like to know what's the best in its price range as I am thinking of changing Zu Birth on my power amp and pre to something different.

I agree with Merganser.

hi tmsorosk:

as a cd player or sacd player, what do you prefer and why ? and, what do you think are the "weaknesses" of the sony.

i have heard that it may be a bit thin sounding.
