Sony DVP-S7000 - best transport under 300?

>>I had a Rega Planet prior to the current Roksan Caspian and both of these units sounded much more like analog than the Sony ever did.

Are you saying the Planet sounds better as a Transport, or sounds better as a CD player than the Sony?

If it is a better transport, what DAC did you use to test it?

I have the DVP-S3000 which is the exact same transport w/o some of the added features you would not use as a transport anyway.

I had a Rega Planet prior to the current Roksan Caspian and both of these units sounded much more like analog than the Sony ever did.

My advise is use it as a DVD player for HT and that is all... One could get the Palnet for $400.00 here on Audiogon if you look long enough.

Just my thoughts...
