Meitner DAC6 and Sony 777ES

Hi All,

I am considering a Meitner DAC6 to replace my Accuphase DP-75V. I would use my Sony SCD-777ES as a transport connecting it to the Meitner via toslink or RCA SPD/IF. (I understand that these digital links will not carry DSD. Only PCM.) I can move the analog cables from the output of the DAC6 to the Sony to listen to SACD's.

Has anyone used the 777ES as a transport to the DAC6? How is the sound? How much better is the Phillips 1000 with the dedicated Meitner links than the Sony on CD? Is the 777ES/DAC6 better than my 75V?

Thanks
