Hello; Yes...it is a very good player (sonically) it is "open and dynamic" in sound, its virtues are that it is just a CD/SACD player with the 5.1 RCA Analogue outputs - simple, effective, has no DVD features, no nonsense inside the box. I compared it to passed-prime other Sony(s) which had all those stupid things like DVD abilities and the likes, and found it to be extremely impressive in clarity of sound, dynamics and micro-dynamics. Wish they would re-introduce these simple uncomplicated products. Get one that is checked and working (and do not put your trust so much on internet sellers...) Myself, I am looking for another one just as a stand-by unit. Note that it can go bad mechanically at any time; the one that I gave up used to momentarily "freeze" at the beginning of the playing, then would continue by itself after some sort of un-initiated pause-recovery. No technician cleaning would rid it from the problem and to order that arm-reading part was too expensive. Regards.
