Experience with the NAD M5.......
If a used modwright is available in the UK or if someone was willing to ship from another country, that would be good enough for me. But no luck. 
Experience with the NAD M5.......
Thanks Tom, the used tubed modwright is excellent advice, and I did consider that as an alterative to the NAD or the Sony. Problem is I am based in the UK and I cant find any sellors willing to ship their used Modwright out of North America. If an...

refurbished NAD M5 vs new SCD-XA5400ES

refurbished NAD M5 vs new SCD-XA5400ES
The NAD does look better built. I was wondering if the Sony just had some new technology that makes it better sounding just cause its newer.Eg. it has the Dual R-Core Power Transformers which I have no clue what they are!!!

sony scd-777 dac vs PS Audio DLIII DAC
Thanks Dave_b. So your view is that the Sony XA5400ES would sound a lot better than using the 777es as transport and the PSADLIII DAC? Correct? (The two options will cost me roughly the same money.)Also just to close the loop on my earlier questio...
