Ayon CD2S vs ModWright XA-5400ES Ultimate Truth

Wig, like your speakers. I don't own a CD player or digital play back anything ,.yet.
I just like to mention a demonstration which involved the Sony ModWright comparing to a much more expensive digital player which I'm not sure the brand name as I type.
The demonstration was some new Symposium products, to make it short I listened to both players and liked both players ,the sony modwright was put on a symposium segue ISO platform with the symposium roller blocks , I could not believe the transformation, then compared again between the two digital players .The Sony cleaned up and I apologize for not remembering the other player however it was much , much more expensive?
I bought a couple of these symposium platforms and a roller blocks that made a difference under my preamp and power supply.

Hey Goose, The still points ultra 5s do work as advertised or return them for a full refund, I could start with15 please,..
The demonstration of the Symposium Segue ISO platform with roller blocks under that Sony with the tubes sticking out of the top was impressive.
With that disk inside spinning at those rpms I can easily understand why CD players would benefit so much,to a lesser extent with preamps and power supply's however it works very well even so.

After experiencing this with the CD players I wouldn't even consider evaluating a player without a Symposium platform and roller blocks.
Compared to Stillpoints products the best bang for the buck is Symposium by a good amount.
And finally I understand Symposiums history is where everyone else in this business that use precision ball bearings got their ideas for resonate control, Kudos to Symposium.

Hi Wig
Your model of the Sony player improved markedly and was quite the shock how well it did sound after installation of the symposium platform and roller blocks .
