Sony 9000ES or DVP S7700 as transport?

I have the 9000ES in my 2nd system and happy with it for the times that I use it as transport as I am mostly streaming all my music. For the 3rd system I may try out a CD once in a long while. Which one is better for CD playback via coax? I have no SACDs anymore.

I have been strongly considering picking up one of the DVP-9000ES spinners for a SACD player only. I wonder how well it holds up against the 5400ES ?

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

/Jafant: it is the DVP-9000ES, bought more than a decade ago as SACD/CD player for the main system and relegated to the second system as transport.

Jazz-

which 9000ES do you own?
There was the DVP-9000ES then the XA-9000ES ?

Thanks, I am trying to look for a smaller unit than the 9000ES that would be an easier fit between the bookshelves

I've never compared them directly myself, but the S7700 was known for being an excellent CD transport when connected to an external DAC.
