the CX777es is nothing like the XA777es. The XA is the multichannel version of the SCD777es. Both were, during their respective productions the second in the line below the SCD 1. The CX was just another multlidisc player.
I have the SCD777es, and I have been more pleased with it than the previous CDPs I have owned. As the system gets better I find that the Sony doesn't even sound too bad. SACD is obviously better, but...
If someone told me that I could never listen to my TT again and only had the Sony, after several months of crying I would except my fate, and go on with life.
Digital isn't the worst format, but it sure isn't the best.
