Looking for my "last" CD transport

Two words. 
PS Audio

My Sony XA7ES is 23 years old. I bought this $3k new player brand new for $1000 when the local distributor cleared them out as the player was discontinued. The tray is very unique and far superior to a Phillips built tray. The player has performed perfectly since ownership and the laser works perfectly. I’m curious why new players suggested are failing with faulty lasers when my 23 year old player works perfectly?

Because it's a Sony.

the XA7 -ES is a legendary CD Player. Nice score! On the pricing as well.

This spinner is tough to beat (no pun).

 

Happy Listening!

both are excellent.

 

 

 

Buy a reasonably priced ($1000-2000) modern transport and connect it to a Titans Audio Lab Helen digital reclocker, and you'll experience much better sonic results than connecting directly to your DAC. 

Disclosure: I am the North American distributor for Titans Audio Lab. It works like a modern version of Genesis Digital Lens.
