Sony DVP-S9000ES redbook playback

I have read many reviews about the Sony DVP-S9000ES. Most praise it for SACD and DVD playback, but many question its ability with CD. However, one respected reviewer questioned whether the other reviewers were breaking in the CD portion before listening to it, or just switching from SACD to CD. For you Sony DVP-S9000ES owners, what is your experience with a well broken in machine playing back CD.

Thanks

I agree with Philjolet.

I too have a Sony 9000ES, and its' redbook was pretty standard stuff. (I am the second owner and have had it for a couple of years, so it is well broken in). Detailed and extended is a good way to put it. Emotionless is another. The SACD is pretty good though.

I ended up going with a Resolution Audio Opus 21 cdp for my Redbook, and could not be happier with the sound. (Well, except for my vinyl setup of course, which is better than any cdp I have ever heard, but that is to be expected, IMHO.)
