In Reply to: DVD vs. CD sound posted by Gordy on November 29, 2000 at 11:01:18:
I don't have a lot of experience with numerous DVD players, but you might want to read my review of the RCA 5223P here. I believe the RCA (last years model) may be a Panasonic clone but I'm not sure. In any event, I sold my Arcam Alpha 8SE (retail $1000) because the RCA bettered (at a current on line price of $179) its performance. This either makes the RCA very good value, or the Arcam very bad, but the 8SE is a pretty respected CD player. There are numerous posts here from inmates regarding very good sound quality out of the Samsung 709 and the Pioneer players as well. My guess is that a decent sounding DVD player (that's the problem-how do you go about auditioning these for sound quality?) performs on the same level as budget "high end" players up to and possibly beyond the $1000 mark. Are they perfect? No. Easy to find? I don't really know. Maybe I just got lucky, but I doubt if I will ever buy a dedicated CD player again-just doesn't make economic sense to me with the experience I've had.
