The Sony seems more mellow, natural, and more intimate by comparison. This is not a subtle difference. |
At this point though, the Sony X is the better sounding player by a good margin. Hope this is helpful at this initial stage. |
I am expecting things to improve dramatically. But there are some big ways it's falling short that have me wondering at this point. We'll see what the 100 hours brings. |
I will reserve any conclusions until that window has been passed. I simply wanted to report what I hear out of the box, since there's been so much anticipation related to these two players, and since for many of us ultimate SQ is the biggest goal. |
