A properly operating Sony S7700 is absolutely the best value in all audio for a transport. We've compared several dvdp's and cdp's and this simply stands out as the most dynamic, engaging and detailed. I use it with my Benchmark dac-1 and the top Ridge Street digital cable and interconnects and I'd put this against some of the most "refined, musical, detailed systems I've ever heard. Change the power cord, and use the best cables you can afford. I know it gets better but for around $200 the Sony is an absolute steal of a bargain .
