I just put an order in for a Sony SCD-CE775. Basically for me it came down to that or the DVP-NS500V; I decided I don't need a DVD player at this point, so that ruled out the DVP-NS755V, which is only on the list because it's progressive scan. Again, not needing DVD, the NC650V has no advantages over the SCD-CE775, and it costs more, so it gets wacked. Unlike the Denon and NAD players, the SCD-CE775 plays SACD, which I decided is a nice bonus, especially since I have some of the new hybrid Stones remasters coming. I decided I could justify the $60 difference over the DVP-NS500V by just looking at the obvious: none of the price of the SCD-CE775 goes toward a video DAC or any of the video components that are in the DVP-NS500V, and so it probably has higher quality audio components.
It should be here in a few days, assuming my bank changed the address on my credit card like I told them to. (Moving back and forth from school to home is very annoying for online shopping.) I won't have a good amp at that point, but I can give you my impressions out of the jack on my V6, SR-80, and HP-2.
