I must point out that SCD 777 ES does not play DVDs at all. It is only a SACD and CD player - no video, no DVD-Audio. I have one which I bought before the 9000 appeared. My audio set-up (2 channel valve amp) is separate from video (5.1 with 5 channel Technics amp), so my choice would be easy if price was no consideration. I presume the 777 should be "more" hi-end, than a DVD/SACD player. I use it only as a transport for normal CDs.

I thought they BOTH did DVD. I was confused because the "new 9000" was listing at $1500, ($1000 less than the 777).
Well, heck, I have a perfectly good Sony DVP 7700 for DVD's and CD's. I wish I new how different the 9000 ES and the 777 sounded (I have not seen any comparisons yet anywhere).

  to the 7700. In comparison, the 7700 sounds thin, grainy and unrefined.
