I have owned both. The Sony is more detailed and has much better build quality. The Rotel is smoother and more musical. Build quality is not that great. Pick your poison.
Sony CDP-XA20ES VS. Rotel RCD 971
O.K., audiophiles, lend me your ears! Since I've resigned
myself to the fact that I can't afford an SACD player like
the Sony SCD1 or 777ES, what's your opinion on this Sony
vs. the Rotel? For the same price, the Rotel has HDCD, but
the Sony does not. Any opinions?
