berzin..if you aren't constrained by $ then the scd-1 is the only one to buy...especially if 2-channel is what you want. i had one and had it fully modded by richard kern and it was outstanding.i have since sold it and have bought another that just arrived 2 days ago and plan on modding it again.it is an outstanding cdp/sacd player.the 777es,although very good,is not as good as the scd-1,imo.
Which hi-end Sony SACD player to buy?
There are 3 that I have been looking at-the SCD-1, the 777-ES 2 channel and the XA-777ES. I know the XA is multi-channel, so this one may be out because I am dedicated to 2 channel. But for the life of me I cannot tell the differences between the 3 just by reading the availible audio reviews and I need to narrow this choice down soon. Also, who would you trust to do audio modifications on any of these models? Thanks in advance.
