Is BCD-1 hands down better than Sony XA5400es


Is Bryston the clear favorite for redbook cd's?

Thanks, I was looking for one (Sony) and did not find any, except the news it was discontinued.
I received my SCD-XA-5400ES yesterday from these folks. give them a call http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1264516143&/Sony-scd-xa5400es-Audiophile-S
IMO the Sony XA5400ES contrary to the Techradar review is a better SACD player than with RB CD although the latter is also very good. The best performance comes from using it with its matching DA6400/5400ES receiver with H.A.T.S. enabled for lowest jitter via HDMI. The MCH SACD performance is superb and unequalled by any other player that I know of especially at its realistic price.
