Sony DVP-NC555ES

[riverrat]

Does anyone out there in AK land own this player? What can you report about its CD playback? Would it be an improvement over an SCD-222ES?

Jeff,
I have no experience with the 222, but I've got a Sony DVP NC650V which shares some boards with the 555. I think it sounds good as a CD transport and really good on SACD as an analog source. I replaced the stock op-amps with National AD8620's.

You have a PM.

Tom

I give it a big "meh".

I am not all that impressed with it. I have one. I wouldn't buy it again. Most annoying thing is that it blips during layer changes on DVD's EVERY time. My old ass high end panasonic is better.
