The 400XS is a stunningly good CDP. It displaced a Naim CDS2/XPS and peed on it from a great height. If I'm being honest, I was somewhat underwhelmed by a new 440XS. Maybe it just needed to burn in. The great thing about the 440XS is the ability to use its DAC separately. That is how I'm able to connect my Node 2i to one of only two line-level inputs on my preamp. The other is used by DV-P75.How do you like the 440 vs the 400xs James? I had a 400 for many years and picked up a 400xs last year for a silly £300. Perfectly happy with it so just curious.
I still have the 400XS, and just waiting to find the right replica KSS-213c transport for it. Then, maybe, I can do the direct comparison. But for the avoidance of doubt, I really like the 440XS now and have no desire to find a 'better' CD-P.
