I have a Sony SCD-XA5400ES running single ended with Nordost SPM cables which I like very much. I don't know which model Rega I have heard at the dealer when auditioning speakers but I preferred the Sony.

Is the Sony SCD-XA5400ES really an over-achiever? Has anyone compared it to much more expensive CD playback?
