The Yamaha CDX-750E is the second in line after the CDX-1050 from year 1990, so there is a good chance they share PBC. But the difference is big; where the 1050 is one of the ledgendery line of 10kg + machines, the 750E is stripped down to less than half the weight (4,7kg). If you have been looking around in this thread, then you know this means less of the high-end stuff.

This does however not mean that it is a bad player, as I said it was 2. in line and has the same DAC as the 1050 (S-Bit Plus) properly also share most of the design with it.

The player was priced at 306€ (the 1050 was 664€, so not only the weight was cut in half).
freq. 2-20.000 Hz +0,5dB - 1,0dB
Kirr 0,0028%
S/N 106 dB
Dynamics 100dB

Hyperion If posible post a few naked pics here in the thread and look also for the model markings on the PCB, it will show what models share the design.
 
i have Yamaha CDX-993, and i'm thinking out loud. if you were in position to be "forced" to give up of this model, or must sell it, or you'd like to try something else, what would you like to buy today?

rules....

1. only BRAND NEW models!!! NO second hand alternatives!!!

2. budget is between 500-700 US dollars, or 500-700 Euro, which is more or less the same as brand new Yamaha 993 in its time.

3. as close as posible to Yamaha's CDX-993 sound signature

4. avoid "downgrade" with new CD player

5. no moded players, so don't sugest moded Oppo, or moded Denon, or moded anything be it CD or DVD, just plain vanilla factory stock CD/SACD player, if it's within the budget.


is it posible to respect or fullfil or those rules on todays market of brand new CD players:scratch2:
 
P.S. sorry, but realy don't know how to delete this message??

one more rule:

5. no moded players, so don't sugest moded Oppo, or moded Denon, or moded anything be it CD or DVD, just plain vanilla factory stock CD/SACD player, if it's within the budget.
 
Did just that last month when I moved from the CDX-1120 to the McIntosh MCD201. Strictly 2-channel for strictly 2-channel with SACD capability and fully balanced throughout. Which reminds me.......think I forgot to include the remote.

way out of respective budget:nono:

but i'm sure it is great CD player:yes:
 
In any case I don't see any reason to dump a CDX-993, unless it is to gain SACD/DVD-Audio playability. If you want to buy a new stereo player and improve performance to the CDX-993 700€ is not goanna make it.

BTW. At the moment €700 is equal to $993; funny this number popped up, maybe take it as a hint :)

But since this is the CDX thread maybe this discussion would be better of in a new thread since it seems to be everything else than Yamaha CDX...?
 
Cdx-1110u

Well I've finally tracked down a decent Yamaha cdp. Finally! I won't have it for a week or so but I'm really looking forward to it. I'll post pics when the time comes.

agree, there is no reason to dump 993, but the point is IF for any reason you have to buy something new. you know advantages of Yamaha, so what would you schoose to buy today, brand new, for certain budget?

i think it is the right place to ask, because we all love our CD's but hypotethicaly what if one went broken beyond economic reason to repair, so you need a new CD. i think it could be a good start for interesting discusions. if moderators think so, it could be moved into new thread.
 
Please someone tell me what a CDX-1020 is and what is under the hood. I have found one for sale — the equivalent of just under $100. I already have a Kenwood DP-990SG. It has the same DAC as my Sony CDP-222ES. The Kenwood is the much richer and better transport, but the non-over sampling, outboard Monica II DAC is a lot less tiring to listen to than the Kenny's on-board DAC. I am wondering if I should spring for the 1020.

I believe the CDX-1020 is the Japanese market equivalent of the CDX-1030 which was exported. The CDX-1030 was manufactured starting in 1990, used an S Bit DAC, and had an MSRP of $700. I'm sure it's a very good sounding player, and a bargain for $100.

The 1030 is a great player. I had two but sold the titanuim one when I got a the 1120. I will not sell the black 1030 unless a black 1120 comes along.
