    hi

    can any body please tell me which has the superior overall sound quality the sony x800 4k player or the oppo 203 or 205 especially when playing music cd

    my question is i have at the moment i have 2 dali ikon 6v2 fronts dali vokal centre
    2 dali zensor 7 as rears
    2 dali zensor 1 as additional rears
    4 dali c1 atmos modules
    i also have the crown 1002 amp as well
    sony x800 4k player
    blue jeans speaker cables belden 5000ue
    4 svs pb13 ultra subs
    a playstation 4 pro
    a wii u
    xbox one x scorpio edition
    nvidia shield console
    marantz 7011 amp
    mini dsp 2x4 to connect all 4 subs to the amp
    antimode 8033 to balance the subs out for optimum performance
    blue sound node 2 streamer
    music fidelity m3i integrated amplifier
    I bi-amp my main speakers with the MF and the Crown amps, with the MF on the HF and the Crown on the LF where power demands are higher.
    Marantz 701 to the integrated amp using the left and right pre-outs from the AVR into the HT bypass / AV input of the integrated amp
    connect the analog outputs on the streamer, to an analog input on the integrated amp.
    this gives me even better superior sound than the 7011 for streaming music
    i have a very large audio cd collection
    i want a perfect partner cd player that will greatly enhance the audio quality
    of my setup i was thinking naim cd5si or something else in the price range that any of you on the forum wold recommend thanks

    hi

    i found out that either 3 will give me a superior performance compare to the 205
    but if you as to choose between the nam with power suply
    or cyrus cdi
    or sim adio 260
    wha would be your preferd choice and why

    also what else could i add to this setup to greatly ehance the quality of sound
    or swap out
     
  3. The Sony has no analog outs so the quality of its playback will be a function of what you connect it to for decoding.

    The OP might be better off substituting the Sony UBP-X1000ES for the comparison.
