Like you, I ran my SCD777ES for 14 years, and replaced in in November of last year with the Marantz SA11S3. The Marantz sounds much better to my ears: smoother, better detailed, and much more "life-like". The latter quality is particularly evident in its reproduction of female vocals. The heads up comparison with the 777 that I did in my home system was an immediate win for the Marantz. So, I suggest you get your local dealer to loan you one for a home audition. The list is $4K, but you can get a better deal if you shop around.
