Sony ES777 SACD vs EMC-1


I recently bought a Sony ES777 SACD player which has about 250-300 hours on it. The friend I bought it from just bought an Electrocompaniet EMC-1 CD player. He tells me that it's the best he's ever heard, and probably better sounding than the Sony. Of course he didn't hear the Sony fully broken in.

I was wondering if anyone has auditioned both of these machines, and if so, what differences they detected? Do you have a preference for one over the other?

While I really like my ES777, there always seems to be a better machine on the horizon, doesn't there?

Looking for opinions and guidance. Thanks, guys.

I own a Sony mod'777ES and I had a chance auditioning the EMC1 at a local tube store. I wished I hadn't bought the Sony!
