hi all,
does anyone have an opinion on the following universal players as a stand alone CD player?
- DV-09
- DV-79avi
- BDP-09FD
wondering how they would stack up against my current ancient digital front end. Theta DSPro GEN III DAC, Pioneer Elite CLD-79 laserdisc player (as a transport).
the reason for all this is i've noticed my system started to sound more fatiguing. almost to the point of thinking "is there something wrong with the tweeters in my Yamaha NS-1000M?"
out of curiosity, i hooked up the CLD-79 direct to the preamp, no theta DAC (never tried this before). sounded MUCH more relaxing! who knows, maybe it's time for the theta to be recapped. not sure if i wanna go down that road.
the CLD-79 uses 1-bit DACs and legato link DSP... so that's gonna take the edge off anyway.
anywho, wondering if the above choices would wax the floor with the theta, even if it was in tip top condition.
i REALLY want a PD-93 or PD-91, but those things go for mucho dinero.
thoughts?
Regards,
Robby
