CD, SACD DVDA etc.
Can anyone recommend a player that can utilise all the popular audio
formats such as CD, SACD, DVDA etc.? I'm not bothered about pictures and video, just audio. It would have to have a line-level analogue stereo output as well. TIA Ken |

A Pioneer DV-575a at about a wunner will play everything (except a 7" single) perfectly well as far as I can tell and will give you a stonking video picture as well, should you ever need it..... |

The current version of this product appears to be the DV 578A - $129.95 list price - $99.95 street price http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....3&type=product |

The catch one is SA-CD. The Philips 720 is the only other DVD machine on the market apart from the 575 that will play them. Don't know about either with DVD-A though. -- Woody Denon make a whole range of Universal players from a couple of hundred notes up to a couple of thousand. As you get further up the range they separate the audio and video circuits completely (including separate power supplies) to prevent interference?? Steve |

No, they separate the functions into separate boxes to create perceived value. I've tested the audio outputs of enough DVD players to know that contamination of the audio from video is usually a non-problem. Any time it would be a problem would be examples of substandard engineering and construction. |

Kal They are one and the same - it's just the 'correct' (Sony) way of writing it. From research I've done I suspect your comment is wrong - the only two domestic DVD players that I can find that will decode SA-CD are these two. Since SA-CD discs are hybrid and contain three different copies of the music - including 'normal' CD - any machine will play them but will not provide the full surround capability. I would agree that there are a number of audio CD machines, notably Sony and Denon, that will play and decode them. -- Woody |

What I don't get is why are there so many CD-only players still available? With DVD-A and SACD around, is not the CD format obsolete? My reasoning for going for a universal player was because I thought that was the case. I guess the real questions I have a how long can one expect CDs to remain available? Why, if DVD-A and SACD are so superior (in stereo mode?), is there still a market for CD-only players? Ken |
