Rotel RCD-1072 vs Sony XA5400ES

Hello all, which of these two players is better for CD-only playback? The Rotel is an older unit which has served me quite well over the years. The Sony player also does SACD which I don't need but does use the better DAC out of the two -- the Burr Brown 1796 DAC.

I haven't heard the Sony in my system, so I cannot compare the two. But I have been enjoying the Rotel RCD-1072 for many years now. It is an absolutely wonderful sounding deck with an uncanny ability to play the music "just right." My AudoQuest King Cobra interconnect works quite well between the deck and my amp.
