DVD's DACs vs. receiver's

199.170.59.189

Agree with cfraser -- the outboard DACs are almost certainly superior.

Recently I did an A/B comparison with using my relatively cheap Yamaha HTR-5150's DACs versus the Panasonic RP-91's. The Yammie's sounded soft, almost muddied, and had a sweetened sound, almost as if it were playing through some kind of filter. The Panasonic was also smooth but seemed more natural and articulate. My main system features a California Audio Labs Icon Mk II CD player and the Panny's sound approaches that of this $1,000 (new) and well-reviewed CDP . . .
