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.
New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.?
I still love my Richard Kern modified Sony SACD
player. In my ears better than Oppo
UDP-205 that I bought to replace it with. It is now almost 20 years since
these came out.
Like many of these units, the SACD laser is not
working as well. But CD is still flawless.
How about buying a DAC for Redbook?
Would a Schiit, Benchmark, Mytek, iFi, or Ayre make a real difference.
(The musical experience from my analog turntable set up is still much superior.)
Thank you.- ...

dcaudioIt uses a Sony KHM-230AAA laser still available still cheap, if your mechanically minded should be about 1hrs work to put in. Buying the whole mech/laser is far easier to put in than just the laser. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Sony+KHM-230AAA&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_... As far as a dac goes, to me only R2R dacs for Redbook, and for reasonable priced one Soekris has good ones and know what he's doing with R2R. The pic for me is the 1541. http://www.soekris.dk/ Cheers George |
