Once again, Sony ES has raised the bar
for multichannel music performance to remarkable new heights. The flagship of
their SACD line, the SCD-XA9000ES, packs an arsenal of cutting-edge technologies
that team up to deliver a phenomenally involving musical experience, detailed
enough to reproduce even the subtlest nuances of the original performance.
Whether it's playing SACDs or standard CDs, the 'XA9000ES offers the perfect
union of digital clarity and analog smoothness, musicality and warmth.
One of the major breakthroughs of this player its i.LINK® digital output. This
is designed for use with Sony's STR-DA9000ES receiver, or other compatible
receivers, preamplifiers, and outboard D/A converters (i.e. those with an i.LINK
input and the DSD decoding necessary to translate SACD signals into analog
form). If you've got such a unit, the 'XA9000ES can transfer SACD signals to it
digitally, for musical reproduction of incredible precision and clarity. You'll
also be able to achieve this connection with a single i.LINK cable, rather than
the six analog cables required by almost every other SACD player on the market.
The construction and design of this
player are ES quality all the way. The analog, digital, and power supply
sections are completely separated on 3 audio circuit boards — expensive to
produce, but priceless to your music. Two oversized R-core power transformers
(one for analog, one for digital), mounted on a copper plate, provide minimal
vibration and maximum stability. And the ultra-rigid frame-and-beam chassis
restricts resonance masterfully, to keep your music ultra-pure.
