Hi Michi, As we both know the vast majority of optical disc players these days use a DVD transport so it went without saying that we are dealing with a dual laser/dual focus be it CD, DVD or Universal. I believe in your haste to debunk the position stated you made no comment on the specified issue, that being the quality of CD Red Book playback on players marketed as DVD or Universal. Granted CD playback has come a long way on DVD/Universal players but a current dedicated CD or CD/SACD player with no DVD-V/A capabilities will soundly trounce a DVD/Universal. It has taken the better part of a decade for CD's to sound decent on these DVD drives but only for the most part on dedicated players. So one laser, two lasers, 10 lasers, clocking issues/non-issues, the point is it may take some time for backwards NTSC DVD compatibility on the HD-DVD/Blu Ray players to reach a level of performance we would expect for our current DVD collections. SACD's are DVD's! Really? Thank goodness I've been informing our clients accordingly for the past 4 years. Wouldn't want to sell an Esoteric X-01 and not know what I'm talking about! Fear Uncertainty and Doubt, please, not this guy. I embrace new technology but with my eyes and ears wide open, thank you!
