And deviating slightly, I've also noticed on the main system (the one
with the AVR-250) that the DVD player sounds better than the CD player
when used as a transport (both using Toslink at present until I get
around to making up a 75ohm MIL-spec digital interconnect). I'm guessing
this is due to the jitter reduction in the DVD player (Toshiba SD-530),
but still quite surprising given the fairly dire performance of DVD
players on CDs in general. Anyone have any comments?

Not a comment as such, just my own experience.

I use the same external DAC for audio with both my Philips DVD
recorder/player and the CD player in my living room. The DAC is a Meridian
263. The only audible difference I notice when playing a CD is that the DVD
player tends to make more 'mechanical' noise at times - although I hope
I've now fixed this as I popped the lid on the DVD recorder yesterday and
applied a load of 'deadsheet' damping material. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
