FS: Sony CDP-X7ESD in very good condition

[Joostp]

For sale my Sony CDP-X7ESD in very good condition including the original rosewood sidepanels and remote.

Technically 100%, optically some small scratches on the top plate (near the back). Modified with 4 x BB OPA627 (TO-99) opamps.

Specifications:
Type name CDP-X7ESD
Frequency characteristic 2Hz - 20kHz ±0.3dB
Total height harmonic wave distortion factor 0.0015% or less
Signal-noise ratio (SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO) Above 115dB
Dynamic range Above 100dB
Channel separation Above 110dB
Size 470×125×375mm (width/height/depth)
Weight 17kg
Electric power consumption 22W
Remote control RM-D770

LINE OUT (FIXED) Pin jack 2V
LINE OUT (VARIABLE) Pin jack 2V
BALANCED OUT XLR-3-32 type 2V
PHONES Stereo standard jack 28mW
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) Coaxial connector
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) Optical output connector

Built like tank weighing over 40 lbs, a cd player is no longer built with such high quality unless you are willing to pay thousands of bucks. X7ESD was only in production for one year due to its high cost (€1700) and quickly replaced by X77ES, a cheaper version installed with Sony’s own DA instead of the more superior double chips of PCM58-S from Burr Brown. All components of this X7esd are of high-end quality which account for its high performance even with today’s standard and the X7ESD easily beats many modern machines in the €1000-€2000 range. With this Sony, the sound-stage is huge and musical details are abundant. Among all the Sony “7” series ES players, X7esd is the most analogue-sounding CDP and no wonder some audiophiles prefer this one over the later X77es, X777es, XA7ES It boasts both balanced and unbalanced outputs (fixed and variable). The variable outputs can be directly connected to a power amp without a preamp.
