Description
Vintage High-End Audiophile Reference Flagship model in the premium ES series, a Sony CDP-XA7ES CD Player with the correct original Remote, weighted stabilizer “puck” and copy of manual in excellent overall working and looking condition. Sounds great. Lightly used. Reviewed by Stereophile and others to be superb quality, best in class and compares to others costing 3 times as much. $3000 retail when new. There are three sets of analog outputs (balanced, unbalanced fixed output, unbalanced variable output) and two digital outputs. Remote also controls Motorized Level for volume up & down. Features Fading In or Out and Custom Files so you can delete unwanted tracks for up to 224 discs. Cosmetically in excellent cosmetic condition with some expected scuffs and scratches from normal use. Very heavy for its size with a copper shielded chassis. There is a quirk in my testing to note; if there is a disc already inserted, it will start playing it when powered up. It played several computer burned CDR’s fine. At 25+ years old, vintage electronics are sold As-Is but guaranteed not to be DOA. Made for US market: 120vAC-60Hz. Manual is in English but other languages can be downloaded for free from the Sony site. I did a video as a proof of function but not audio quality as it is a cell phone mic; see youtube link to check it out. Came out of an estate of an audiophile who also paired this gear with Bryston pre-amp & power amps. If you’ve always wanted a clean XA7ES, make it yours. Description from Sony: The CDP-XA7ES is the latest flagship model in the premium ES series. Sony CDP-XA7ES CD player features Fixed Pickup Laser Tracking for exceptional freedom from vibration, superlative tracking, and vanishingly low error rates. Sonys laser pickup is stationary while the spindle and disc move on a motor-driven sled. Full Feed Forward Digital Filter with 3-stage oversampling reduces requantizing noise; filter uses 8x oversampling, 45-bit internal processing and 20-bit outputs. Current Pulse Digital-to-Analog Converter uses highly accurate current source for greater precision than voltage sources, greater immunity to power supply voltage fluctuations. Direct Digital Sync circuitry minimizes the time-base errors called jitter for cleaner, more transparent musical frequencies. Digital Servo Control of tracking, laser focus and disc rotation permits higher precision, lower radiated noise. Twin Toroidal Core Power Transformers reduce radiated hum for analog and digital and protect sensitive analog circuits from power-supply induced digital noise. FET Analog Amplifier for lower odd-order harmonic distortion provides cleaner, more open sound. Ultra-Rigid Frame & Beam Construction reduces the spread of chassis vibrations. Copper-shielded chassis reduces magnetic interference. Sony BSL Spindle Motor with sapphire bearings for smooth torque delivery, smooth rotation. CDP-XA7ES provides both optical and coaxial digital output, as well as balanced analog output. Sony CDP-XA7ES - YouTube An updated note on sales tax and shipping charges.
