Sony SCD-1 vs. SCD-777ES


One of the major differences between the Sony SCD-1 and the SCD-777ES (not the XA777ES), is that the SCD-1 has balanced outputs. Does the SCD-1 have fully balanced differential circuitry, or does it have a single-ended signal path with XLR outputs?

Are there other important differences between the SCD-1 and the SCD-777ES? Has anyone compared the two side by side, and does the SCD-1 sound better?

As an SCD-1 owner, I believe the only differences between the two units are cosmetics and XLR outputs (not fully balanced).

Although I've not compared the two, several years ago, one or more reviewers reported the sonics as supposedly being the same.
