Sony SCD-1 as transport?


Does anyone have any direct experience in using the Sony SCD-1 as a transport for their DAC? If so, does the SCD-1 make a good transport? Any comparisons to other transports would also be helpful. There has been both negative and postive comments made on the Sony 777ES as a transport in a previous thread.

I've been running my SCD-1 through a Dodson 217 mkII 'D' DAC and Stealth Varidig Signature for the past four months and can't complain. A bit less glare/edginess in the upper freqs and a bit more forward midrange. Bass is quite nice, but somewhat similar to the Sony sans DAC.
SCD-1 has the fifth foot, potted transformers and hand picked/hand soldered parts to go along with the quasi balanced outputs, which aren't truly differential. Most people find the S.E. outputs actually sound better. Go figure?
