Proceed PMDT vs CDP


I currently use a Sony 9000ES for CD/SACD/DVD source, but I am thinking of upgrading to either a Proceed PMDT CD/DVD or CDP CD. Does anyone have the experience with these units to advise regarding their comparitive ability for stereo music. I think I could connect the analog output of either unit with balanced lines to my Proceed PAV/PDSD.

The PMDT is a great sounding unit. However there are some
limitations. First, it is a transport only which means you
only get digital out (AES/EBU balanced, S/PDIF RCA, and
optical), you will need to use your digital input on your
processor. If you are going to use the PMDT for DVDs you
should know that some of the newer DVDs may not play
correctly. From experience, I would recommend that you get
the latest software for the unit too (revision 3.0 or 3.01). And of course, it does not play SACD or DVD-A. Good Luck!
