Sony SCD 777ES Really that Good???


I am contemplating purchasing one of the used 777ES models out there or just keeping my Meridian 500 Transport and getting it modified with a superclock etc.

Any thoughts out there on this one? Are these sony players that good? If so, why are there so many on the used market? Or can a modified meridian 500 transport and good dac blow the doors off of a one box 777es???

Thanks!!

Can I use a regular 2 DAC on this player?
The reason I ask is to get the best of both worlds.
On regular CD, the SCD77ES will function as a transport and receive the benefit of my DAC. On SACD I just feed it directly to my pre-amp.
Any info is appreciated.
