I bought one of these used about   5 years ago it came in DOA so I never got to hear it.  :cry:
Supposed to be quite good.

Welcome.

Curious is this 5400ES player is better than an Oppo which I use for SACDs ..... I am getting back to spinning media (no Vinyl yet)

Welcome!  It is a very nice player.  I've heard it.  Many moons ago, I owned a XA-777ES and then had a Modwright Mod to it.  A friend of mine sold his player to buy the model after that the XA9000ES.

The serious real problem is the prices for that player are way way too high.
Folks are selling ten year old players for the used price they paid for them NEW. Crazy.
That is what happens when the word of mouth of how good it is gets out of hand.
There are dozens of just as good players, but no one wants those, since no one is praising them to the skies.

Sorry about the rant.

I just saw one for sale a while back, but don't remember where. Right here, I guess. The seller was asking $800. I've had one for about ten years now. Mine was modified by Allen Wright, what he called "Terrafirma Clock" was installed. It's a terrific player made even better by the mod. Recently I had a new laser assembly installed (Bill Thalman located a brand new one in Japan), so it's probably good for another ten years. It may outlast me.  Great player. Sony never did any better, and very few companies have done better unless perhaps you are talking mega dollar machines.
