Playstion one audiophile stereophile review

After reading review on stereophile on playstation one, I brought 2 same Model number 1001. They sound so transparent and details on vocal that my Sony sacd 777ES does not show. I borrowed different model number 5001 and 7001 from my friends and they sound not much different 1001. The different model number 1001 and others are the RCA output jacks comparing to
proprietary A/V multipin (yellow, red, and white). You should try to buy playstation one and comparing with your CD current source.

The D/A converter on playstation one is high end like $5000 D/A converter CD player but if upgrade the power supply they will sound more increable and unbeatable price VS $5000 CD player

Really? Which $5000 CD player would that be?

Dude. The PS1 is a low end 16 bit cheapo DAC that ain't anywhere near the state of any art since about 1986. Agree w/ Sebrok and Missioncoonery. Send some of that Humbolt my way....

I too have listened to them before, and agree with the above 3 posts.... It sounded soft, lacking in detail and at best, "never harsh" would be its only selling point.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a "3" only because it is is never bright, forward or edgy. Some of the inexpensive Oppo players out there in the $100-$200 range do things much better. Some people say the PS1 has an "analog" sound to it, but I would disagree, calling it soft and non-detailed.
