Normally, its tough to see the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5DS and 77D.

As you can see, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 5DS with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 5DS will produce greater detail using its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 5DS will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
