For Sale Sony CDP-XB720 CD player
Surplus to requirement is my Sony CDP-XB720 CD player. I bought this Sony some time ago to replace a previous player (a Philips) that had become unreliable.
This is a solid well-built, good sounding player, coming from the middle of the Sony range of players, and as such would make a fine source for a second system. For those who like to read specifications, they are as follows:
Frequency response: 2Hz to 20kHz +/- 0.5dB
Signal to noise ratio: > 102dB
Dynamic range: > 98dB
Harmonic distortion: 0.0035%
Channel separation: > 100dB
Outputs:
Line out: 2V at 50kOhm
Digital optical: –18dBm (wavelength 600nm)
Digital coaxial: 0.5V pk-pk at 75 Ohm
Dimensions: 430mm (W) x 115mm (H) x 290mm (D)
Mass: 4.8kg
There is one feature that some may find useful – the ability to switch between four different digital filters. According to the user instructions, the four types of filter are:
STD (Standard) – “wide ranging, ample spatial representation”
1 – “clear, smooth sound reproduction”
2 – “high clarity, strength”
3 – “warm, deep”
These filters operate outside the audible frequency range, but their effect is audible, subtle and not easily described. I used the STD setting for all of my listening, but you can have endless fun trying the other settings.
Designed in Japan and built in Poland, this player has proved to be highly reliable. The only reason I’m selling it is because I have two other players, and need to clear up some space.
The player is in perfect, full working order, and in good cosmetic condition, though there are some small areas on the rear corner edges where the paint has worn through, as shown in the following photographs.
It comes complete with the remote control and a copy of the operating instructions.
I don’t have the original packaging, but the player will securely packed.
Asking £50 plus carriage.
