Has anyone heard of Sony's upcoming plans?

Thanks

Other forum members have said this new model is a multi-channel, front-loading replacement for the SCD-777ES. The list price for the XA777ES is $3000. Aside from that, I have no information as to the sonics, build or features this new player has to offer. I hope this helps. BTW, the SCD-1 is still listed at the site.

The Sony Store does show an SCD-555ES, which is a 5-disc SACD carousel player for $1700. I doubt this would be in the same class as the SCD-777ES, and probably not it's replacement. But who knows? We'll no doubt find out for sure very soon. Take care.
