I disagree IMHO. Try the Meridian 596 or the Muse 9 sig. I just went from a Wadia 850 and a Marantz DVD (7000) to the Muse. Both units are outstanding on both video and audio. I was amazed at how much better the video was on both units. The Meridian might-again-might be slightly better on video, the Muse is a awesome cd player. Beats my Wadia easily...and it's a pretty good unit itself...
dvd vs cd?
I'm upgrading my system and would like to use a dvd player for audio.I've built a pretty decent setup and would hate to compromise quality here. But then again if i could get a dvd player that sounds great ,that would save me 5-6oo$. Dvd players i've thought about are pioneer elite dv37. Cd players are the cal audio and cambridge d500. Thanks for the suggestions.
