Need your thoughts on Denon 3910 vs McCormack UDP1
I'd increase my budget and go with the Esoteric DV 50S ($6,000 but you can find a deal on a used one for around $4,900). Handily beats the UDP-1 in redbook and has great dvd . . . | 25 |

Sony Legacy SACD Players - SCD-1, 777ES, XA-777ES
Hey Guys, You are right that the SCD-1 holds it value very well. It is also a very good transport (great build quality) and that's what it does best. None of the Sony players are. . . | 20 |

Not another which is best but, I need help w/CDP
Chris, Try Rotel's 1072 cd player. Absolute Sound gave it their "budget component of the year" recomendation and I agree it is a very good cd player for the money. . . . | 11 |

Will a more resolving CDP improve my system?

Transport for Tri-Vista 21 DAC
I used a Sony XA 777ES as a transport with the Tri-Vista 21 DAC and it sounded great. Very tight sound, loads of dynamics and the Tri-Vista warmed up the bright voicing of the Sony. . . | 6 |

Denon DV-2200 vs 2900
Both units have the same bass management options so for SACDS and DVD-A I would say its a toss-up. Both units also convert DSD to PCM on SACD so that's about equal also. I beleive. . . | 6 |

B&W N803 vs AP Tempo IIIi vs VA Beethoven???
Xenithon, I own both the VA Beethoven's and the N803's in two seperate systems. Here are my thoughts: The 803's have a bigger, fuller mid-range than the VA's. It is also a more. . . | 5 |
