sony scd777es and sacd

Without getting to involved with my current equipment, its all high end and well matched. My recent purchase of the scd 777es has left me a bit bewildered about the excitement of sacd. I have had the player 2 weeks and have found the sound stage thin and restricted. Although the sound is more clear without the digital haze, it has lost much of the impact my system previously had. Is it break in time or did i get caught up in the hype once again?

RCprince- Who is modifying these? Do they have a web site?

I agree. The images that once extended well beyond the boundaries of the speakers are gone, width and height. Depth I have not noticed a deficiency. And this is compared to my stock MSB DAC. Even the few SACD's I have don't compare. The appeal of my system was the imaging, CJ tube,Spica. With the new SACD player it is not there. Also the better recorded CD's and especially DAD's sound "crisper". I do get the feeling I am listening to a superior format with SACD, but somehow there is just more between me and the software with the Sony 777. Mine is broken in and I even switched the the player to the custom setting with little improvement.
