Sony CDP-557ESD CD-player
This, the second eight-times oversampling, 18-bit CD player to come up for detailed inspection this month, is doubly welcome because it provides a ready means of assessing one of the entirely hypothetical thoughts which have come to mind following the tests on other 18-bit machines. This is because it...

Sony CDP-705ESD CD-player
When I measured and listened to Sony's CDP-650ESD, I thought that the science of digital audio disc reproduction had reached its ultimate level. I should have known that when the subject is sound reproduction, there's always room for improvement-however small in audible terms. The company's latest effort...

Sony CDP-X202ES CD-player
Sony engineers are constantly trying to maintain the breakaway, being one step ahead of the competition, so the functionality of the new models of CD players can be called truly luxurious.

Sony CDP-X222ES CD-player
If it's features, flexibility and fine build quality you're after then look no further than the CDP-X222ES. Sony doesn't miss a trick when it comes to inventing new and ever more obscure widgets. But the company shows a similarly firm grasp over its bitstream DAC technology. The 222 is the cheapest of...

Sony CDP-X77ES CD-player
It is much more difficult - I am tempted to say impossible-to keep up with Compact Disc player development these days. Sony is only one of very many manufacturers in the field but here I am, delving into a machine which is the direct successor of a model, the CDP-X7ESD. However, in this case the justification...
