I owned 777ES and changed them to 9000ES Sony CD/DVD/SACD player for $1,075 (www.oade.com). its transport is much improved, D/A chip, I heard - may be just rumors, is 2nd generation SACD chip. Whatever reason it sounds much better then SCD-1 and 777ES
Sony SCD 777es burn in
Installed a new one in my system yesterday. Is the recommended time 200 hours and is that 200 hours for regular cd's and 200 hours for sacd's? Please let me hear your experience. Regular cd's sound awful right out of the box. Hard to tell with sacd since I have no prior experience.
