This player is apparently 'legendary' but now about 8 years old. Does anyone still have one and how does it stack up to modern beasts?

I would like to know that myself. Any comparo with a recent medium CD Player / DAC? Something like the Cambridge 840 or the pro DAC's (Apogee, Lavry, Benchmark, whatever) ...

But have you recently compared the Sony 5400ES to Krell 20i side-by-side?
Having listened to both, though in different systems, it's difficult to believe Sony "blows it away in every single way" with its op-amp output stage, especially in the bass extension and power, which is truly heroic with the Krell.
