The NAD is a warmer and more forgiving player than the Sony. The down side would be, probably to forgiving. The upside would be the NAD has a fuller sound that I prefer to the Sony. I have owned both and think the build quality is great on both. In around the same used price range, I would take the Rega Saturn over either of them if redbook only will work for you. If you need sacd then one of the used Modwright tubbed Sony players is IMO better than the 777es or the NAD by a wide margin. I have owned all of them but the Rega which I auditioned at home.
Experience with the NAD M5.......
My local dealer has given me a good deal on his demo NAD M5
SACD player. I have seen some good posts here on this player. On NAD's site they are very vague with the specs
on this player......no signal to noise ratio....output
impedance etc...How does this unit sound? I have had good luck with my old NAD stuff. I do not have any in my main system now. I know you can get a Lector, Cary CDP-1 used
Mcintosh for the list price....seems like used Ayre players are hard to find. Thoughts on the NAD MASTER
sereies cd player would be helpful.
