DVD player with excellent CD quality

I have both the Sony 7700 and the Marantz DV-18. The DV-18 is a better unit, both with DVD's and CD's. There is a firmware fix which takes care of the "skipping". It was most noticeable with the Matrix. Fix was applied under warranty. The DV-18 is a sweet unit. TRH

I really like my Toshiba SD3109. Very good sound and a HDCD decoder built it, all for under $400.It smokes all of the other cd players that I have owned. I looked at the Mitsubishi's, but found out that Toshiba makes Mitsubishi's for them. The on screen display and the real panel are identical. Why pay another $100 for a Mits.?

The Toshiba 3109 does not sound as good as a Philips 825. They both do not sound as good as a good CD player (Sony XA7,for example.) I was amazed to hear that how beautifully the Philips (a sub $200 DVD player) sounds.

pioneer dv-05 is first rate in every regard. have had one for about a year, no problems, no complaints.

Hello, I'm using an Andy Bartha modified Pioneer 525 DVD. It exhibits such excellent performance with my associated equipment that I have actually been able to enjoy listening to CDs even during those times when I have been DAC-less. Regards, Rick
