Philips SACD1000 vs Sony DVP-9000ES


Hello,

Between these two SACD/DVD-video/CD players
which one do you think is the better bet for
an audiophile with strong preference for 2-channel
sound, who also wants to watch the occasional DVD?

(assume price is no object, differences are small
betweent the two).

How does the "winner" compare with the Sony SCD 777?

Thanks!

Sony SCD777 will kill both of them. I own a Sony DVP-9000ES and I love it, but for movies only. The SACD feature sounds great, CD sounds hideous, so for serious listening I still pull out the ol' Meridian 508.24. Get yourself a decent progressive scan DVD player for the occasional movie and snag yourself a Sony SCD-1 or SCD777 for some serious listening.
