I don't think that unit is being produced any more. Note that it dates back to 2007. If you go to Sony's Japanese website, there are only two SACD players currently made. The XA5400(158,000YEN) and th .......

Mike, Thanks for the suggestion. But my integrated amplifier (Accuphase 350) probably has one of the best attenuators in the marketplace, so adding another device like the Rothwells seem redundant. Ye .......
