I've seen mention in the archives here that the Sony9000es was a rather poor transport as directly compared to even 5-10yr old dedicated transports, further, the redbook playback of that machine and the newer 999 doesn't seem to do 'it' for most people, either. Do some searching.
Upgrade from PS Audio Lambda?
I am running a PS Audio lambda transport and wonder what transport might be recommended to replace this unit? I am not exactly happy to replace it, but the drive appears to be crapping out. Can anyone suggest the means to replace the drive or another transport that will equal or even better the lambda? I dread pulling this from my system!!
