It is a nice player. I was really getting into it when the line-out went bad. I found a broken trace on the circuit board, ran a wire between the points the trace was supposed to connect, and all is well. I'll post more details once I've got some more listening time in.

I have:
Sony
D-5
D-2
D-35
D-303
2 off D-555
D-900
D-EJ01
D-915
D-??, 3in PCDP

Denon DCP-150
Technics XPS-900
Aiwa XP-7
XP-3
Pana SL-C570??
SlimX2

And few more I can’t remember. I stop counting when I got my 20th
Best of all is DCP-150
D-900 is nice
I like my D-ej01, most people think has poor sound, for me through line out is enjoyable.
Technics is just average
Aiwas have very good sound.
D-555 is heavily overrated, great features but SlimX2 is not far behind (excludes sound quality)

How is the quality of sony new Pcdp like Sony Dej-1000, Dej-2000 or Dej-985???

 

[JF_Aidan_Pryde]

Yeah, I'd like to know what's the bes tof the new ones (headphone out):

e2000, 985, 999, 888, 777 etc.

 

[NotoriousBIG_PJ]

Use the search function to find out that all new sonys and panasonics sound like trash from the headphone out..

Biggie.

Hi All -
Any opinions on this unit? I happen to own one and I think that its sound (opticaql/line out is pretty great). What say yee?

Just got a Sony D25S and really like the sound. No one else has mentioned it, though... Is this not considered to be a very good (legendary) player?

Are you referring to the D-25S being legendary, or the D-335 that zeldon was talking about?

The D-25S gained it's status when a review was posted a while back on it.. and the wide availability of the D-25S. The headphone out is powerful, but some find the sound bright. (me.)

Read the review.

vwap - I was talking about the D25S. I am new at all of this and don't have all of the "audio lingo" down, so I'm not sure what "bright" means in terms of sound (isn't that a visual thing?!?

)

Perhaps the Sony D25S isn't a legendary PCDP, but I really like the quality of its sound . I use it with my SennHeiser HD590 headphone and like it - a lot.

Thanks for the link to the review, also.

From the Stereophile "Dictionary":

bright, brilliant The most often misused terms in audio, these describe the degree to which reproduced sound has a hard, crisp edge to it. Brightness relates to the energy content in the 4kHz-8kHz band. It is not related to output in the extreme-high-frequency range. All live sound has brightness; it is a problem only when it is excessive.


Basically.. bright is when the upper spectrum of sound is too loud.. and then it just sorta .. pierces.

 

[OakIris]

Thanks for the explanation, vwap. Perhaps my unsophisticated ear is at fault, but I have not yet noticed the brightness of the D25S output. Some people have said the HD590s are also too bright; I don't notice that either.

Still learning, after all of these years.
