Any Chance of a Sony SCD-777ES Power Buy?

Some audiophiles claim the Sony SCD-777ES DSD player sounds great with regular 16-bit compact discs. Rumor has it that J&R Music World will sell the unit for $1900 less than list price of $3500. If that is the case, perhaps Mr. Bott can arrange a Power Buy for us AV Science Forum members. I'd gladly pay $1500 or thereabouts for this SOTA machine. The only hitch to me is whether Sony might soon announce a $1,000 list price DSD player. In which case, maybe it would be better to press a Power Buy on the lower-priced unit.

Tell me more about this new SACD player with a $500-700 price tag. This is getting into my budget range. I would love to add SACD to my rack, but am not going to pay $3500 fo a player with a limited number of disks out.


this is great news except for the release date next year. Maybe a $500-700 player will start to bring SACD into the mainstream, especially if this player is 6 channel instead of stereo.
