Vertigo. I can't answer your question, but I have to say that my Sony XA777ES with superclock II mod is the only non tubed CD player in my price range that I'll listen to. I keep trying to replace it with a tubed output CD player, but everytime I listen to other players as good as they are in the price range I like the Sony better. I'm only talking about redbook. It is very smooth not digital sounding. And the low level detail is just amazing and hard to give up. It's also not analytical like some very detailed players.
I bought it modded so I can't speak for it's original sound. I will say however that with this modest mod (superclock II), I prefer it's sound to a stock SCD-1. I just wanted to give impressions.
