Im going to replace my ancient Sony CDP-XA2ES with a Yamaha CD-S700 even if what-hifi slaughterd it. The finish, quality and drive feels excellent and if it really sounds like three star rubbish ill use it to feed my dacmagic

An owner's perspective. Decent piece of kit. Beautifully engineered and largely very good sound although WHFS&V's comments about soundstaging aren't unfounded - it can get a bit muddly when the going gets tough. Very musical and involving though most of the time although not on a par with either the Marantz CD63SE or the Rotel RCD965BX (both of which I also own).

thanks for hijacking the thread guys...
just want to throw my 2c into the debate: i have modded my amp a lot already, every time i replaced the standard copper cable used with solid silver cable (no matter which part of the amp the cable was used in) i found a noticeable improvement in sound quality esp. detail.
as far as im concerned, if i could afford the tuning fuses i would buy them.
