I owned both players. I sold the Cambridge and kept the Sony. The 840C was good but a little to bright in my system, plus the Sony offers SACD, which is substantially better than redbook on either player. Plus, with the sony you can go the ModWright route, which takes the Sony to a completely different level. The Sony will be the winner in most peoples systems.
Sony XA5400ES vsCambridge Audio 840C???
I have seen these two players compared to other high end players in the threads,... but never to each other. Is there a clear winner in sound quality, or is it too close to call?? (NOTE: The 840C has been discontinued in favor of the 851C. Not sure if the Sony 5400 has been discontinued in favor of a new model) All comments welcomed. Thanks, Jim
