Oppo 95 vs Sony 5400/9000/777 who owned both?


I have a TRL modded Sony XA777ES that I have compared to some other modded players and DACs in the same price range. However I thought of downsizing and I have read that an Oppo95 sounds as good as a Sony 5400/9000/777 series. Anybody have or had both?

I have a Denon DVD-A 3300 for DVDs and the TRL modded Sony 777 for redbook & SACD. So only one shelf instead of 2.
I have tested my 777 with my friends Audio Research DAC 7 and I was surprised how well the TRL 777 did. The DAC 7 had a very slight edge in smoothness but no difference in detail, air, soundstage etc. So I got the bug to maybe change up the system and rack, and possibly one less shelf.
Thank you for the input. I'll have to find an Oppo dealer and give it a try. At least I know it's in the same ballpark.
