The CD-77 is a redbook player only, but when I heard it with the EMM Labs, we played an sacd on the EMM Labs and the redbook layer of the same cd on the CD-77. The CD-77 still sounded better!
I just took delivery of the CD-77 last night - a demo from RMAF, but not fully broke in. Karel really nailed it on the character of this machine and it's hard to believe futher improvements are in store with more hours. At CES last Jan. I spent four days scouting all contenders for my next digital, and to my ears the AMR CD-77 was unparalled in both sound and build quality. Don't think I'll be listening to my SME 30/2,V, Jan Allaerts setup nearly as much anymore.
If you want to junk that SME30/2,V,Jan Allarerts, I will be glad to take it off your hands! The AMR CD-77 is very good, but I would find it very hard to believe that it would sound better than your analog setup.
