Description from the seller
CD player, perfectly functioning, with digital inputs, and the ability to control the volume from both the player and the amplifier.
High-end product with minimal signs of use, sides in solid wood. Video and audio of proper operation captured and stored.
The Sony CDP-X559ES is a heavyweight champion from the "Elevated Standard" golden era, built like a bank vault and tipping the scales at a massive 13kg. Released in the early 90s, it sits just below the flagship X7 series, sharing much of the same "over-engineered" DNA. It features Sony’s legendary KSS-272A magnetic pulse linear motor tracking, which makes track access nearly instantaneous and silent. With its distinctive wood side panels and ceramic feet, it’s a "material slaughter" designed to kill vibration and deliver a clinical, ultra-transparent soundstage. If you’re looking for a player that makes your CDs feel like a premium experience, this is the one.
