Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

>>For instance, Sony made some statement players like the SCD-1 or SCD 777es. I know their lasers are old , but if they work would they sound better than modern cd players on redbook cds?<<

Even back in the day, although decent, neither the SCD1 or 777 represented state of the art CD playback (SACD wasn't much better, contrary to the over-the-top marketing hype). If dedicated CD performance is your motive, I can think of a number of players back then, and today, which would easily prove superior (and certainly more reliable), many for far less $,$$$.

From what I've heard from OPPO's, IMO, they're better suited within a good HT system, designed for optimum DVD/BR sound reproduction (in which they thrive). As a CD player, OPPO offer "decent" performance, to my ears, they sound opaque/veiled when directly compared to better CDPs.
