It sounded >as if you were speaking "generally". Nice try, but no cigar. I've compared numerous 'audiophile' players to the Sony in the last five years, and the only one that sounded different was the Audio Note - which is *seriously* broken! Even a Naim CDX (IIRC) didn't sound different, although I have previously heard Naims which were also somewhat broken in an attempt to sound different from the 'common herd'.
