Using Samsung DVD player as CD player?
I really don't think one player is more suited to a certain type music than any another.I could be wrong,have been before!! The 545 is $499.00 the 515 is $299.00 (new prices) You can do a side by side comparison on the NAD website. http://nadelectronics.com/products/cd-players |
Some DVD players turn off their video functions when they read CD's. This is a fairly modest system, while you might appreciate a difference with a seperate CD player, I don't think the difference will be huge. Depending on how much you need the DVD functions, alternatives include upgrading to DVD player with better CD output, or using an outboard DAC. |
I think I may have found a possible exception! Look at the Denon 3800 BDCI Blu-Ray player at Listenup DOT com. which can be looked up right here on the Gon in the search box. All I will say that beyond it's exceptional BD & DVD performance, I like it better for CD's than my recently sold Rega Apollo. Now I have owned many DVD players & a Samsung Blu Ray player as well as other universal players, and agree that none were as good as cd players. But this Denon had more attention paid to it's analog output performance?? Just a thought, since I think with this one, you can have it all in one box. (And it's build & looks are great as well. |

Robert, your other option would be to use the samsung dvd player, and feed the digital out to the little MF VDAC. If you search the postings you should find some very pos. comments on its sound quality. YOu can buy the VDAC new for 299 on line from several sources, or other option would be to watch for a MF A324 DAC here on audiogon for 400 bucks or so. good luck |
