which is better, Sony SCD-1, or SCD-XA777ES?


Which is better, in any/all catagories, Sony SCD-1, or the new SCD-XA777ES? Why is the SCD-777ES (older model) selling for more than the SCD-1 online?

Thanks,

According to the reviews, the SCD-1 still has a very slight lead.

If you're looking for 2-channel only, then the SCD-1 is the best option because of it's slightly superior sonics, built quality (it's a 56 lbs. tank), and aesthetics.

-IMO
Redbook-SCD-1, SACD playback-depends on if you want more in your face/SCD-1 or laid back/Xa777.
What prices are you seeing for the SCD-1? Were you referring to the used (about $1700) prices of the SCD-777ES? Or does someone have new stock of the old triple 7?
