Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES

With this player pretty much the sky is the limit but the mods that give the most bang for the buck (IMO) are as follows.

1)Superclock and superclok power supply are the first mods I would make.

2)I would do the analog output stage

3)Then the power supply.

First you must pick a reputable modder......unless you are doing the work yourself. Reference Audio Mods (RAM), Vacum State Electronics(VSE) and Audiomod(Richard Kern) all have excellent reputations and experience modding this player. All three have websites discussing their modding techniques and philosophies. I would read them as well as some of the discussion threads on this site. Also there location may make a difference as shipping may be an issue as well.

Good Luck.

Are you unhappy with the way it sounds now? I ask because I was never as happy with mine after the extensive mods I had done as I was before. Even though it clearly sounded "better" in many respects, I just didn't enjoy listening to it as much. If I had it to do over again, I'd try adding a Benchmark DAC before doing a more costly set of mods.

To Chuck's list above, I'd add Steve Nugent at Empirical Audio.
