The very best SACD/DVD Audio/Redbook CD player is the Ayre C5xe. I also have a Denon 2910 that I use for my hi def tv. I will tell you that the Ayre just kills the Denon...no contest.
CD/SACD/DVDa player for new system
Well we've been hauling around several boxes of vinyl for 20+ years. The kids really love music and I thought it would be fun to pull out the old records and the B&O RX turntable (20 years old too) for the kiddies. Well, the Bose 321 GX has no phono stage. Bought a Parasound for that, and have since decided that we just don't have enough music in our lives. So I have now purchased an Onkyo A9555S integrated and two Infinity Primus 162 bookshelf speakers. I'd like to be able to play some CDs/SACDs/DVDas but have no idea what player to get. Very limited funds so I could scrape together maybe $500 before I get in too much trouble. Would be nice if we could use it for DVDs by hooking it up to a reasonably ok 400 dpi Infocus projector but I'm ok with getting a separate DVD player (like an OPPO).
Just hoping some of you audiophile braniacs can help me attach logical things to my new integrated amp. It will help me to stop obsessing and start listening. We listen to rock, folk, some but not much classical. I like warm music that isn't too bright.
Thanks so much for any advice you can offer!
