for the SCDXE670

An SACD player for C$399? Can't sound good can it? Yes it does, much better than the 775 multi player, which sounds great with SACD but sucks with red book cd's. This player, sounds great with red-book as well, plus has multi channel ouput. Cosmetics are clean, the unit looks pretty sharp sitting in my rack. Don't let the price or the name fool you, give this one an audition and put it on your short list.

Product Weakness: It's a Sony, nothing else for the price.
Product Strengths: It's a Sony, it plays SACD and sounds good with red-book, decent cosmetics and build.
