Regarding your question on the SA777 vs SCD-1, Stereophile stated, in their review, that both machines are the same except that the SCD-1 has balanced outputs. Sony disagrees, of course. Do you know if, in fact, there are other the differences?.
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.
