New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.?


I still love my Richard Kern modified Sony SACD player. In my ears better than Oppo UDP-205 that I bought to replace it with.  It is now almost 20 years since these came out.
Like many of these units, the SACD laser is not working as well. But CD is still flawless.
How about buying a DAC for Redbook?

Would a Schiit, Benchmark, Mytek, iFi, or Ayre make a real difference.

 

(The musical experience from my analog turntable set up is still much superior.)

Thank you.

if you have a line on a Sony KSS-272A laser, contact me.

Happy Listening!
Might as well ask me for rocking horse shit. They are about as impossible as the Sony BU-1E laser.

Short answer to your question, no leads on that one, just as rare as the Sony BU-1E

I answered your question, but it got removed.

By "some pleb" who thought that me saying "those lasers are as rare as rocking horse ****" was offensive and objected to it and got it removed. What a putz, or maybe he has a thing for Rocking Horses who knows

Definition of ’pleb’
If someone refers to people as plebs, they mean they are of a low social class or do not appreciate culture. [British, informal, disapproval]

A stupid fellow, a fool, a jerk;
