I had a very pleasing surprise on the sunday.
Some of my family and friends from Porto Alegre came to visit me, and since my birthday was just a couple of days later (9 of november), they got me a big present from their local hi-fi shop, a brand spanking new, still on the box Sony DVP-NS900V QS (the silver one). It was used before, but the previous owner kept it immaculate, like it was new. They paid quite a premium for it, that's what they told me.
I loved the gift, mainly because i never had an SACD capable player and also because i never seen this model before. It came in good time as well, since i sold my cheap auction bought Roksan Attessa.
It's also a nice DVD player with progressive scan component output, but it leans much more towards the SACD and CD reproduction, with many outputs to choose and also has a "Video Off" mode.
I'm no electronics connoisseur, i'm not even an electronics hobbyist, but i decided to open the case up just to see what i could find.
I found a Sony SACD/DSD Chip, model CXD275R. And on the audio outputs, the player was infested with many sizes and models of Nichicon Fine Gold and Elna Silmic I capacitors, from what i heard those are quite good.
Well, i'm loving it so far, it has attended me very well and earned its place on my hi-fi cabinet, but just for the hell of it, how good of a player it really is, from a more well informed hi-fi aficionado's perspective?
