Sony SCD-777ES as a transport


I am thinking of getting this unit to do double duty as a tranport and a stand alone super audio cd player. I would keep my current d to a and use the Sony as its tranport for normal cd's and use the Sony as a one box player for sacd's. Has anybody done this? Comments plesase.

I use the Sony SCD 777ES as a transport via Kimber Illumation D60 to Levinson 360S and obtained a very respectable result with them. Mind you that the Sony takes a very long time to break in. Try at least 200 hours for each of the CD and SACD section.
Why would you want to add jitter to the signal? Buy it and use it for CD and SACD and keep what you have too.
i used it as a transport into a counterpoitn da-10 and preferred the units oown dac to that of the counterpoint's. i think people here have prematurely passed judgement on sacd, especially the 777, some without actually hearing them i imagine. it takes a while to burn in so you need to be patient but the end result is worth it. i haven't looked back since i bought my 777.
