Sony SCD 777ES Really that Good???


I am contemplating purchasing one of the used 777ES models out there or just keeping my Meridian 500 Transport and getting it modified with a superclock etc.

Any thoughts out there on this one? Are these sony players that good? If so, why are there so many on the used market? Or can a modified meridian 500 transport and good dac blow the doors off of a one box 777es???

Thanks!!

Your a funny guy Albert. So many of us appreciated and enjoyed the effort you made to share your system. It really is wonderful to see someone go all out like you have. I can only imagine how wonderful your system sounds with either LP or CD as source. And I suspect few of us have ever heard either source sound as magnificent in the home as you have. I just had to laugh at your comment, "My analog still murders it."

With a soon to be delivered Muse Model 8 transport paired with my ARC DAC3 II, it will be interesting to hear how much closer this comes to my Clearaudio Ref/Koetsu Rosewood Sig combination. I expect to be mightily happy with the CD sound...but ....... we'll see....or is that hear?

If anyone has any experience with my CD system vs. the new SACD models, modified or not, I would be interested to learn more.
