Close enough in price to consider either. Match with Cary SLI-80 F1 and Merlin VSM speakers. Both well reviewed for their classes. Does the Cary really exceed the Sony? It had been written up as the best solid state up to $5-6000.
I have both CDPs now.the 5400 is smoother and has a 5 yr wrrty. My CA had issues at 3.5 yes and cost me rd trtip shipping fr HI to LA and repairs. I got the Sony as backup an d like it just as much. Seems more musical maybe slightly less bright.
