Unlike what was touted, the Fixed Pickup Mechanism wasn't anything new as it was used in Sony's original CDP-5000S professional CD player in... 1982!
The SACD format on the other hand was new in 1999, even if chances are it'll never have the widespread success of its father (CD) or grandfather (LP).
Sound-wise an audible upgrade from the last of the X7 Series thanks to the complex-but-simpler S-TACT digital-to-analog scheme... and the 5-position VC24 24-bit filter.
The differences between the 25kg SCD-777ES and the 26,5kg SCD-1 are the looks, a pair of balanced outputs and a sealed transformer added for the SCD-1; the rest is the same, including KHS-18 frame and KSS-180A pickup, digital and analog sections.
