5.0 out of 5 stars New to ES, April 7, 2006
By Spiff (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews
Most of my equipment thus far has been Denon. I recently purchased the DCM 380 which had fantastic sound reproduction, but the changer mechanism was awful and needed repairing. After 6 weeks of waiting to get the player back from Denon, I was upgraded to the SCD-C2000ES (black).

Out of the box, this player was solid. The CD changer mechanism was virtually silent and had a much better build than the Denon. Set up was easy from the front of the machine or from the remote.

The sound reproduction is great! The trebles are clear and sharp, but not overstated. The bass is also well reproduced, not muddy or too crisp. It is playing my CDRs quite well with no problems. I am only using stereo output, so I am sure the potential of this player will not be realized until I hook it up to a surround sound system.

There is no mention on Sony's site or in the manual about being able to play back MP3 CD's, but there are a few advertisements on the web and say it can. I will have to try this to see what happens. I cannot wait to see how this player performs after it is broken in.

Overall, my first experience with Sony ES is favorable. This is a solid player with excellent sound reproduction.

Updated 4/9/06 - still mechanically working great! Did not accept the one MP3 disc that I had. I'll probably try with one more disc. It is a finicky player when it comes to CDRs. If the quality is not good, "pops" will appear during playback.

3.0 out of 5 stars First Two Units Defective; Third Unit is Fine, December 1, 2007
By J. Mueller (Flagstaff, AZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I received two separate units (from [...]) that were both DEFECTIVE (wouldn't read any CD-- regular or SACD). Finally I have received the third unit, and it works normally. Sound quality and ease of use are outstanding. I've had it less than a week. Output for SACD CD's must be done via analog RCA cables. Output for regular CD's can be either digital (optical or coaxial), or analog RCA. Controls on the front are easy to master, as is the remote. The CD tray seems well designed and responsive. It's nice to be able to reload the tray while a CD is being played. Having a big button to open the tray is convenient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent machine...previous reviewer doesn't understand coax and optical limits, July 25, 2009
By Randall J. Wetmore (Wall, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The previous reviewer complains that he cannot get multichannel sound through the optical or coaxial ouputs, but he doesn't realize that there is no player that can do this because optical and coaxial are not spec'd for multichannel hi-rez audio.

I was a little worried when I bought this player about the negative reviews of the machine being slow to read discs or having mechanical problems. Mine operates very smoothly and fairly quickly as well. I haven't had a single glitch. Sound quality is excellent, completely free of any harshness or coarseness.

Highly recommended.
