The SCD-777ES is part of Sony's ES series, inheriting design philosophies from the SCD-1. It is designed for 2-channel stereo playback and does not support multi-channel SACD playback. The player uses a DSD decoder for SACD playback, which employs a 2.8224 MHz sampling frequency and 1-bit quantization, offering a wide frequency range and dynamic range. It also includes a 24-bit precision variable coefficient digital filter for CD playback, allowing users to adjust tone quality. The player features dual fixed optical pickups, one for SACD and one for CD, ensuring high-quality playback for both formats.
