It's been a long time since I heard the 400XS, but I remember being somewhat underwhelmed when I first heard the 440XS. In contrast, the 400XS, straight out of the box, made my (then) Naim CDS2 sound broken. It may be that the 440XS needed more running in when new. It's fine now, but unless I can repair the 400XS and compare directly, I'm just relying on my first and last impressions.Interesting. What is it about the 400 that you prefer?
