Here's the photos. By the way, the new players are in addition to the SCD-C555ES ($1700) and the $500 player (Model 700 something) that were announced at CES.

There's no photo of the "dream system" which also has SACD.
I just heard the 9000 at a friends house in his spectral/audio physic system (this means HIGH resolution!). Excellent CD player. I would put it in the same general category as the Sony XA7ES for CD playback. I did not A/B compare them. SACD was outstanding - better than vinyl. It really is true that it's got the detail of vinyl but without the surface noise or warbling. He said it was within a hair of his levinson 36 dac for cd playback. He sold the Levinson !
I am saving my nickels for an "old" 777. Looking forward to it. Heard it in my system and it flat destroyed my trusty old Nak CD player.
