CD's in DVD players a compromise?

One might say some blind snobery leaks into the DVD player for CD debate and some is justified but not as often as some would lead you to believe. Another vote for Esoteric and Lexicon, I own the RT-10, my dad owns the DV-60 and we are both happy my dad is however thinking of an upgrade to a tube AR Ref8 player.

The Sony Bdp2000es Blu-Ray is the first Blu-ray Disc player in Sony's "Elevated Standard" (ES) line and was designed with many audio enhancements. Its an excellent CD player as well as a Blu Ray player.

It has rigid dual-shield construction. The high-end quality construction employs highly tuned audio parts including multi Channel 192KHz/24bit Audio D/A Converters as well as a solid beam chassis that contributes to minimized vibration and drastically improve playback. The unit's off center aluminum insulator feet combined with the aluminum top panel helps isolate the player from external vibrations , while a rigid drive bracket adds stability of the drive system and a separate isolated audio board prevents interference and keeps the signal as clean as possible delivering better sound.

I agree with Likecap, and i own one.

New Sony ES DVD player sans SACD? Way to go Sony... Abandon the customers who supported your earlier (but not distant) format efforts.

I find the Lexicon RT-20 DVD player gives me good CD,SACD,DVD-A sound.
