909 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 How does the AMR compare to the other CD players you/your friend have tried? without a question, the CD-77 is one of the best sources i've heard. it's been a long time since i've heard most of the top contenders, excluding the APL 3.0, but firmly believe the CD-77 is something i'd more seriously consider than the others especially if the Reimyo didn't exist. the price increase is a big turn off and the potential affect it should have on the used market. i'll ask my friend or hopefully he'll post his thoughts here as well, but i got the sense he thought very highly of the CD-77 and more so than the other players he had heard. in the big picture these players are at the top of their game and all fantastic sounding source and truly at this level one could argue it's a lot about personal preferences and to a certain extent the type of system it's going in too.

909 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 i believe it's being re-listed for the second time -- around the same time it original went up about a month ago another one went up first for about two hundred less and sold for it's asking price within a week.

909 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 retail price of the DAP-999EX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubliss Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Is the DAP-999EX the same DAC as the CDP-777, seems like it is? This would be nice for a computer setup since the CDP does not have digital input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 the DAC chip is the same as far as i know, but the internal DAP-777 photos i saw weren't even as nearly impressive as the insides of my CDP-777. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarium Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 retail price of the DAP-999EX Sounds like a pretty interesting dac. Quite pricey though. Might pick one up in the future if they start hitting audiogon at used prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
