The power supply is the same,it's the 2 encapsulated transformers($340 without labor)that is the main difference.Add to that,the fifth foot,balanced outputs(fake or not,it can still be used with balanced equipment)and don't forget their difference in appearance.I did prefer the SCD-1 to the 777ES when comparing the two,though it was not night and day.I do feel the transformers play a large role in regards to these differences.Gary.
SCD-1 & SCD-777ES Sonically What's the Difference?
I own the Sony SCD-777ES. I have been told that the transports to both this and the SCD-1 are exactly alike. Therefore, am I missing something sonically by not owning the SCD-1, or is the $600-$800 price difference for the SCD-1 just simply so one can own the original "flagship" of the SACD line? Cosmetically they seem very different but that isn't of major concern to me.
