The Muse Model 9 Signature is an excellent option. Progressive Scan is optional, but version 4 plays CDRs and MP3s, and sounds great on redbooks. Doesn't do SACD. They sell used for ridiculously cheap prices, IMO.
Best CD sound from a DVD player
Hello, due to a lack of shelf space, I am interested in consolidating my system with a CD/DVD player. Ideally, the unit should have progressive scan, although an outboard device is an option. I'd like the unit to play CDRs with SACD being a bonus. I looked at the Marantz SA-12S1 SACD/CD/DVD player and wondered if it was as good as the SA-1? Has anyone made this comparison? Has anyone found a great sounding DVD player for cds?
