Yet again; Beautiful photography!
And very nice kit, but foremost a very inviting music room!
They really get your attention these well built Sony's
I'm sure it sounds terrific!

Thanks Mike , the Sony D777es Tuner is possibly the best piece of kit I've ever used , it just oozes quality.

Some changes , mainly I have got rid of my PC workstation and have bought a laptop which has enabled me to reposition my rack and I can no finally use my remotes from the listening position.
After dabbling in CD with a Sony then an Exposure I decided to re-introduce my Toshiba as a transport and get a DAC , don't look a gift horse in the mouth is my motto and when I saw the Arcam FMJ D33 reduced by 66% I got one , thats my digital playback put to bed , period !

interesting! Does the Sony have HDMI out?
I'm curious about the M51/C510 partly for their HDMI input.

Hi Mike , the Sony doesn't have HDMI out , I didn't buy it to use with the NAD M51.
The reason for the DAC change was to be able to get the full resolution from Blu-Ray Audio discs , SPDIF out of Blu-Ray is limited to 48khz , you need a DAC with HDMI.
My CA Blu-Ray player plays SACD's but it converts the DSD into PCM hence the reason I bought the Sony.
