Thanks for your responses guys. Dr. Joe, I enjoyed reading your post since you own the 777es.My budget is about $650 max(for a dac or 650 plus what I get for my 555es on audiogon if I choose to sell it) so am going to sample the a couple of dacs anyway. I still have a cal audio dx-1, which I could use as a transport. Maybe I can get the best of both if eventually, I can mod the 555es down the road. The only one I found doing it at this point is sacdmod.com.
He wants $637. I just joined an audioclub here in ny so will get to sample different players, including the 777es.
will keep you posted...
Shoe-I have heard many good things about the jolida player and in fact almost bought it. I just got a great deal on the 555es and that is why I went that way. What I wanted to know from you was your opinion on the jolida's bass response. I had read somewhere that some critic said it was a bit light in that dept. Do you feel the same way?
Looking forward to hearing from the both of you.....
