An MDT should sound great throught the CasaNova. I'm using mine through a Proceed AVP for both HT and great hifi.
Proceed PMDT v. Cary, EMC1, Capitole, Muse Thalia
Everything is a compromise, right?
I'm primarily looking to upgrade red book CD playback but, my room, like many, serves double duty. Using an Elite DV-05 for DVD and CD into Theta Casanova. Knowing that SACD/DVD-A is coming, eventually, does the PMDT hold up to the Cary and others? The catch is the digital section in the Theta. Is it up to the task or am I looking at an outboard DAC as well?
I'm leaning toward the CD player and living with the Elite for DVDs since I choose to compromise HT v. 2ch. When the new standards hit (if they hit) punt the Elite. Capitole and Cary would allow the use of the fine digital/audio section to improve the Elite digital output as well. Does anyone do this?
Anyone have a comparison of the PMDT or other DVD/CD box v. the acclaimed CD leaders?
