Sony XAE777 CDP or Bel Canto DAC?


I'm on the fence about adding either one of these in my system to replace my Phillips 963SA. Either one of these options should cost about $1500 when you factor in a replacement transport to pair up to a new Bel Canto 2. How does a transport/DAC stack up to the infamous Sony. I listen to rock music only & have a DNA-1, CJ PV10 (soon to be replaced?), Tyler Reference monitors with MIT & DH labs cables.

Your idea of what sounds good may be very different from what you get from other people in a thread like this. If there is any way you can take a few players home and give them a good listen for a few days, I would. Any player you do a search of on Audiogon or Audio Asylum forum will turn up mixed opinion. I think you can see that from your post here. Good Luck!!
