Sony SCD-1 vs SCD-777es?

I own the SCD-1. Stereophile recentlly rated the 777ES as A+ (the same as the SCD-1 and the Marantz SA-1). I have not heard the 777ES in my system, however for SACD playback, the reports (see Audio Asylum) seem to indicate that they were very close. Some users claim that the SCD-1 is slightly better on RED BOOK CD playback.

In any event, I feel that the SCD-1 is a magnificent machine on both CD and SACD. If you have an opportunity to buy the SCD-1, go for it!!!

I've owned both and the 777Es is best bang for the buck. Needless to say I sold the SCD1 and the 777 is a keeper.

My hand to god I have all 3 and will bet ANYONE 10 to 1 that they will not hear a difference between the 3.

I have a scd777ES replacing my YBA CD 1and it's a beauty both to behold and to listen to. It in incredibly clean, detail, smoothwithout being clinical. Most posting @ adudioayllum ntes that there is very little difference between the 2. Yes, the 777es is hard to come by these days. It wasn't easy for me getting one but there is from time to time ad posted for sale here. I posted a wnated ad and I was oferred one @ 1866 not too long aga. Try Sound professional in SanDiega. They say thay have a shipment of 5 units coming in. Although I don't know how since Sony has discontinued. As well there is ad for SCD1 at about 2800-2900 in AudioReview. I love my SACD, I hope you will too.
