Wadia, Krell or Sony SACD


I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CD PLAYER. I HAVE ROUNDED MY OPTIONS TO THE KRELL 280 OR 300, THE WADIA-830 AND THE SONY SCDX777ES. SAN ANTONIO DOESN'T HAVE ANY SHOPS TO LET ME AUDITION SO I MUST GO THROUGH YOU GUY'S. PLEASE HELP.
LET ME KNOW THE BEST WAY TO GO.
THANKS

Yeah, I'd have to agree with the others on their comments about the Sony scd777es. I recently bought one and now I'm searching for a good DAC for redbook play. This isn't all bad since I can use the Sony as a good transport for CD's for now and the SACD playback is good. With a few SACD's in particular, the Sony was the best I've ever heard, not that I'm the most experienced audiophile around. But you might have noticed their aren't too many SACD titles around yet. This format confusion is really kind of annoying.
