Is this Sony CDP still good????

One of my friends has modified several different players. They've told me that they find the older Sony units ( that are built like a tank ) to be excellent platforms for upgrades / modifications. You might want to check with the "tweaker" of your choice to see what they think. A couple hundred dollars may get you a couple thousand dollars worth of improvement. Sean

Go for the upgrade! I wouldn't cross the street to get a free shanling. I won't buy things made in China.

As long as the basics or guts of the sony are still good there's a lot you can do to improve it and have it last for many more years.

Get an Audio Note DAC and keep the Sony if the digital formats suffice.
Use it as a transport.

I agree with Sean. I would do some sleuthing on mods for your current unit.

That second comment was a stunner. Those brands never "sound good"??? Care to elaborate?
