the thing looks mint, everything works, and the seller has 100%feedback.

    wow, that looks a lot like my basement CDP. It's just being used for background sound so I have no REAL comparison on it but it's the CDP-XA1ES that I got from an old employer for $50 because it was open box with no remote. Darn. Works like a champ and can take a beating. I've had it for about 4+ years now... very happy!

    thanks toxis. The guy said it belonged to his father-inlaw and was never used, maybe 50 hours (for a 1990 model, yeah right but whatever) but hey for $40 who cares

    I should get it Saturday.

    So i'm getting the player tomorrow and I have a question concerning D/A Converters on these older ES models (i don't know much if anything about D/A converters).

    Are the DACs superior on these 15 year old sonyES Cd players compared to say the D/A Converters on your typical receiver?

    bump. just got it. holy **** this thing is built GREAT! I'm just so used to normal Sony equipment over the few years I've been into this whole stereo thing. It makes my DVD/SACD changer look like a cheap plastic toy.

    I'm a Sony ES convert now. It sounds wonderful in straight two channel w/analog cables.

    (edit) $40. geez
