I have noticed the same lack of depth with my modded scd-777es. I use it as a transport into an audiomeca enkianthus X dac to phenominal results. The Modded scd777es is a very nice stand alone player, though it is completely outclassed by the dac. As a transport, I doubt it could be easily bettered by most of what's out there.
Sony SCD-1 audiocom mod vs. Wadia 861 anybody?
Is there anybody out there who has had the opportunity to compare a fully modified SCD-1 (or 777es) by Kern to the Wadia 861? Auditioning these two together is virtually impossible.
I just sold my 777es for a Meridian 508.24 because i needed XLR jacks. I haven't been able to listen to the Meridian yet but now that I'm selling my turntable i have the cash to mod an SCD-1. Any comments on the Meridian would be appreciated too. My entire system changed so I'll never know how it sounded versus my 777es (which i loved.) if i'm not going to have a turntable i want the best digital playback i can get.
Thanks in advance
