I just received a service manual for the 222ES SACD changer, which is going to be one of the next players I offer modifications for. After glancing at the manual, I realize that the audio board looks strangely familiar. What I found, after carefully studying the 222ES's schematics and comparing them to the CE775's, was that other than the outputs and control board that the players are the same. The main difference is that the 222ES has a coaxial digital output and gold-plated RCAs while the CE775 does not.
When I say that those are the only differences, I mean it. The power, main, and RF boards and the transports are interchangeable.
Wait, there's one more difference!
