That is nice. I got one at $140. Great player.

 

Perhaps not surprisingly, Best Buy is still charging this much for this item.

 

Anyone ever compare this to a Pioneer 45a in terms of its SACD performance?

I recently set-up a dedicated 2CH rig in living room (KEF Q10, Klipsch SW-8 sub, Marantz SR-96, Rega P2), and have been using the 45a for digital playback, but it always nagged at me that a Sony SACD might be a better choice for SACD.

At $99, thats not quite throw away money, but its getting close.

I've got a Pioneer 578 and a Sony 775. As a SACD player, The Sony is much better. As a DVD Player, the Sony looks a tad better, the Pioneer sounds better. As a CD player, the Pioneer sounds better. Get the Sony. Its SACD playback is worth a lot more than $99.

 

Oh yeah!! Got mine at Good Guys a couple of weeks ago....price protection, baby!!

Thanks, hamburgerpimp!!

 

I bought my Sony NS775V at Circuit City, for $129.95. I love the player, it sounds great to these ears!

 

I got mine at Circuit City for $99 then they put them back to $129.

 

I got the next level model, the 975. After a bad player, my unit works flawlessy. And mi MCH SACDs are nothing short of breathtaking. The upsampler, HDMI and great video quality were the icing in the cake
