Sony SCD-XA9000es vs. SCD-1 sacd playback?


Has anyone got to compare the two in sacd playback? Is the new Sony XA9000es the equal or better than the SCD-1? Any help in finding reviews that might compare the two would also be very helpful. Thanks!

I never had any problems with my SCD-1. I sold it local and it still has played everything thrown at it. I am looking for a player for almost all sacd. After listening to many players for my main system I have decided on either the Cary or Ayre sacd players.
However for just sacd (in a second system) I always thought the sony (scd-1) was there equal. (different in some reguards but just as good across the board) I have decided to see if I can get the scd-1 sacd sound without the size, weight and cost. Maybe I'm dreaming? If you get a chance to compare them let me know.
