I need to make a choice between two Sony CD players:
1. SONY CDP-227ESD with: 2 x Philips TDA1541A dacs and CXD1144
2. SONY CDP-228ESD with: 2 x Burr Brown PCM58P-J dacs and CXD1244
They look like twins, share the same transport and the price is similar.
I had a SONY CDP-710 with 1 x Philips TDA1541 - CXD1088 that I really like how it sound, but the transport finally died it seems.
So maybe 227ESD will be a better choice since they both have the same DAC, but then again - maybe the Burr Brown is much better than the famous Philips 1541?
I cannot make side by side comparison, it's not the same seller...
Help?
