Sony SCD-777ES vs current Players


I have been using my Sony SCD-777ES SACD Player for 10 years without any problems, it's built like a tank and sounds great to me.

However, I'm looking to buy a new Blu-Ray player and wonder how current universal players compare with my machine in terms of Audio playback of CDs and the occasional SACD.
Also, how do modern stand alone CD players compare with it?
Am I able to improve on the sound quality with a modest outlay?

Thanks for your help.

Hey Ecosse!
First of all, you have a great player and if you like the sound of it, stick to it. Second and in terms of audio, there possibly a wide range of what's you gonna like more, but it may be not. The universal players like OPPO mostly are used with external high-end DACs, they do cost a lot. So if you really want to get rid of your SACD and to start that looooong listening session in search of your sound, then the marked is wide open. But I haven't seen high-end BR players with an outstanding DACs combined.
