Go back to basics

Yes, it is also my experience that even the most expensive audiophile digital players will reduce all the music to a little window, and tonality, bandwidth, texture, dynamic range suffer in comparisons to vinyl playback. OTOH, music that is reproduced from those black discs consistently produces a window that is larger and more vivid, with more effortless musical flow.

Yet, it doesn't have to be that way.

My suggestion.

Go back to basics.

1. Remove all other digital devices except your sony scd-777es from your system first.
Make sure they are all unplugged and removed physically from your system.

2. Set your scd-777es digital filter settings to Standard.
Setting it to the optional setting will have some detrimental effect on its power supply, thereby degrading overall sound quality (it even affects sacd playback)

3. Switch the digital output to OFF

4. Tune the lasers
Load a Japanese pressing cd disc, place the stabilizer over the disc, close the tray and then power off. Then power up again. After the player has read TOC and commencing playing the disc, stop it and remove the disc. Close the tray and switch off the player.
(A blue spec'd disc will give you even better results)

4. Power up your player again now to play your desired test disc.
Power up, let the player show no disc and settle.
Open the tray, load your desired test disc, and place stabilizer over the disc.
Close the tray by pressing the open/close button on the player' stop panel.
Do not use remote from this moment onwards.
Let the player read TOC disc and settle.
Use a finger from each hand, pressing the skip forward button and the play button in quick succession to play track one.
Do not just press play.
Do not just use remote to press play or to use its numerical keys to select track one.
