I would say from my exposure to both that the Sony is better regardless of system.

Bold statement.Have you heard every system that these players have been used in? Just curious.

While you may have been a musician for over 35 years and have very trained ears and trust your assessment,I ask again,have you heard every system that these players have been used in? Still curious.
