Thanks for the response. I should have noted in my previous post that I already use an Adcom DAC for that purpose (e.g., HDCD capability). However, my dissatisfaction with the GCD-700 is not one of sonics, but of workmanship. On several occassions, a CD has gotten stuck in the machine so that I could not eject the CD nor rotate the platter. In each case, I had to open the machine and manually remove the disk. Even when the player is working properly, the platter appears extremely flimsy and makes an awfull sound when rotating.
Are you familiar with the Rotel GCC-1055? I was going to give that a look as it's Rotel newest 5 disk player.
