Refining
the formula - the excellent formula!
Same bomb-proof quality as the previous CDP-X7ESD,
but with different DACs - the X77ES
mainly is a "PULSE" version
of the X-7ESD. Like all of Sony's "7"
series, the X77ES became a best-seller,
too.
The drive section is arguably one of the best ever (whatever the
"7" series player considered), but the DAC section of
the X77ES shows a little of its age - the CDP-X777ES
follower came as an clear improvement in almost all areas but this
was already quite good.
