The XA777ES is a multichannel SACD player that will replace the SCD-777ES. It is also front loading instead of top-loading.
What is the Sony SCD-XA777ES?
I just visited the Sony Employee Store and saw that they have a whole slew of new SACD player models to compliment the SCD-1, SCD-333ES and SCD-777ES.
They now have an SCD-222ES, SCD-555ES, SCD-CE775, SCD-XE670 and an SCD-XA777ES. I'm not sure if the CE775 and XE670 are actually SACD players.
But the item that grabbed my attention was the XA777ES. The listed retail is $3000.00. The discontinued SCD-777ES is now no longer listed there. Is the SCD-XA777ES a replacement for the SCD-777ES?
If so, what differentiates it from the 777ES? Does anyone know if it has balanced outputs like the SCD-1 or even a digital out? Is this a completely different box from the SCD-1? I tried accessing the spec page for it, but there's nothing listed there.
I was thinking of buying a SCD-777ES, but now I don't know what to do. Anyone here anything?
