New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.?

2 ES Sonys in my arsenal, Unless they go up in smoke, They’ll stay..

I have a pro Denon that was tighten up by a buddy It is a good unit also.
He does about 40 dollars worth of parts... lots of features. I have to dig that back out... I’d actually forgot about it... It will work good along with the RtR (just thinkin’ out loud) for a couple of things, I’m getting ready to do..

I’m actually happy with the Music Channels, there are a couple that the quality is REALLY good to my ears.. After 2:00 am it’s about as good as it gets.. Grid is a lot quieter. AC are all off this time of year... Wonderfull!

I been listening for over 4 hours tonight, no fatigue.. Blues, Jazz and a little Coral music, to xylophone it up a bit..

Vinyl is great... BIG ol SMILE!

Happy Happy

Regards

I had a 777, replaced it with an Oppo 105, and then with a few DACs.  Each step an improvement.  However, since you thumbs downed the Oppo 205, who knows what you would think?  Order a DAC with a return policy and experiment away!

No surprise that the 777 was better than the oppo!

I have a 105 that I DIYed via PNP a new LPM and IEC Furutech rhodium with pure silver tails to the LPM board and ground (both from Ebay) a couple years ago now. No issues, BUT, I stumbled across the Technics SL G700 SACD and streamer that has incredible attention to detail.

I started a thread for input


MSRP $3000. I am anxious to compare, but $3000 is a bit out of reach right now

SCD-777ES is one of the best CD tunable ever. Use digital cable out to a  good modern  DAC would be the super I have both 777ES and 9000ES. They are old machine but CD driver are the best.
