Sony 9000ES better CD/SACD than 999ES


is the 9000es still a much better cd and SACD player than the new 999es? i tend to me more critical when it comes to music than video. but how much better, if any, is the 999es video playback over the 9000es?

thanks in advance for any help here.

Kray, if you will spend $1700 Dan (Modwright) will make
the 9000es at least 5k cdp,you will get holographic sound,
pure music,How do I know, I have one,it is the tube stage
the DAC upgrade, the volumec control , that will make all the differrence,I have posted here about this mod.
Yada, without hearing the sacd yet,you have not heard
anything yet,save the best for last,try to buy the
Mark Levinson sacd live recording at red rose,this sacd
upon hearing this cd, it will tell you how good is
the sony mod,Maybe if Tvad had the volume control,
I wont be surprise if He will choose the 9000es sig
mod over the EMC.I cant stop listening to my system
now,try the sacd of James Taylor very good music, and
I think for my taste the recording is good.I am glad
you are happy.
Tvad, I would love to send this unit to you,but
not to have this cdp on my system for one day,
it will ruin my life, my life would be very
boring.Where do you live?If you are close enough.
I will invite you to my place,and will eat pizza,
I will even cook the best noodle,you will ever have.
I found out this player without preamp,it shines.
the preamp Iam using Art audio VP1 mark 11, and I
end up selling my GFP 750.When I hooked up the
VD nite pc and Audience pc the sony9000es, it
even went to a differrent level.Did you use both of this
pc?
