Does anyone know if the Sony SCD-XA333ES and/or SCD-XA555ES are going to
be/have been released in Australia - and what is the difference between
them?

Thanks
Rod

the 333 is a carousel i believe, but the 555 looks yummy.

333 is multi dick i think, the 555 is a higher model that has multi channel
output, actually i think it's the first multi channel release by sony.

The Sony SCD-XA333ES is a *single disc, multi-channel* SACD player
for the European market.
Nothing yet on the Sony Europe website but there's info from Sony HK

http://www.sony.com.hk/Electronics/consumer_p/hifi/hificomponent/scd-x
a333es.htm

SCD-XA555ES (older than 333, single disc, 2 channel)
http://www.sony.com.hk/Electronics/consumer_p/hifi/hificomponent/scd-5
55es.htm

More info here
http://www.techtronics.com/uk/shop/613-000-sacd.html

The SCD-C333ES (2 channel SACD) and SCD-C555ES (multi-channel SACD)
changers that have Ball and Adam F confused are US models.
