I would get a quality DVD player. If you buy a separate CD unit, you'll probably have to live with mid-fi DVD sound. The Pioneer 37 is a quality CD and DVD player. Some say it's a little too soft, but others says its very musical and listenable. The audio on the DVD-V side is very good. It's shortcoming is that it doesn't support the next wave in high resolution sound. I bought the Sony S9000ES. It has great CD and DVD-v audio sound. I think its the bargain of the century. It also has SACD and progressive scan video. If you prefer DVD-Audio, you can buy the Rotel at the same price as the Sony, or spend a little more on the Toshiba or Onkyo.
dvd vs cd?
I'm upgrading my system and would like to use a dvd player for audio.I've built a pretty decent setup and would hate to compromise quality here. But then again if i could get a dvd player that sounds great ,that would save me 5-6oo$. Dvd players i've thought about are pioneer elite dv37. Cd players are the cal audio and cambridge d500. Thanks for the suggestions.
