Which Sony dvd playr is a good CD playr

I have the 7700 and have listened to the 9000. Neither is a "good" CD player, although the 9000 is far and away better than the 7700. Where the 9000 shines is playing SACDs.

If you goal is good CD playback but you also want DVD, I would get a cheap DVD player, such as the Sony 360, and look at some of the standalone CD players in the $1500 to $2000 range.

The Pioneer DV-05, while not progressive scan, is still a great DVD player with very good CD play back as long as you use an active preamp. It will output the full 24/96 signal when properly set up thru the menu. Best of all you can score one on the net for around $400. Good luck

Although not a Sony (which I have previously owned), I can recommend the Pioneer Elite DV-37 as a very good DVD and CD player. I am very impressed with both the video and audio quality. My DV-37 was a replacement for both my older Sony DVD player and my Rega Planet CD player. The DV-37 can be purchased new for around $700, and it's an excellent choice at that price.

Proacman, audio is important for DVD-V too--be it listening to movies or concert videos. I can tell the difference in between my Sony DVP-300 (which cost me $500 2 years ago) and my S9000ES. Most noticable is the bass, but the 9000 is more dynamic and clean. Listening to Hell Freezes Over, James Taylor, and Fleetwood Macs' The Dance was a new experience. I won't recommend a cheap DVD player to anyone who cares about audio.
