Sony SCD-1 audiocom mod vs. Wadia 861 anybody?

Is there anybody out there who has had the opportunity to compare a fully modified SCD-1 (or 777es) by Kern to the Wadia 861? Auditioning these two together is virtually impossible.

I just sold my 777es for a Meridian 508.24 because i needed XLR jacks. I haven't been able to listen to the Meridian yet but now that I'm selling my turntable i have the cash to mod an SCD-1. Any comments on the Meridian would be appreciated too. My entire system changed so I'll never know how it sounded versus my 777es (which i loved.) if i'm not going to have a turntable i want the best digital playback i can get.

Thanks in advance

Wow. I guess the answer is that you really can't go wrong with either one. thanks all and thanks Jwin for the great info.

of course, now we need to find someone who has done a blind test with the 861se but frankly, the ability to listen to sacd makes me lean towards the scd-1 or 777es (which i foolishly just sold!)
