Sony SCD-1 is it the best player for the money?

Do you guys know if the SCD-1 is as good as say a cambridge 840 on redbook, I know on SACD it is s good as a Moon Eclipse playing rebook cd s.

The SCD-1 is a realy good player/transport that can be upgraded to a great player quite easily. The clock is always a good place to start because jitter, therefore noise, etc is lowered. Darker background always cleans things up a little more.
