I own both, the PMDT is in my home-system and the CDP is in my stereo set in my working room. I started with the CDP and a PAV, later I bought the PMDT with the AVP. For stereo the CDP/PAV combo was much nicer, more analog sounding then the PMDT/AVP. The CDP with the AVP is not the better combo as the AVP is a digital pre-amplifier so I didn't split these combo's. Later when I upgraded the AVP to a AVP2 the PMDT was much better sounding. It's the same as a ML390S and again later connected to a MLno40 it became better then the CDP/PAV combo. So the conclussion for me, is that it all depends on the DAC's you use. As a cd-player I still preffer the CDP, it even has HDCD, which came available much later with the AVP2 and no40 DAC's. . Then again if you want a cd-player which also playes dvd's then there is no choice, its the PMDT. Hope this help's
Proceed PMDT vs CDP
I currently use a Sony 9000ES for CD/SACD/DVD source, but I am thinking of upgrading to either a Proceed PMDT CD/DVD or CDP CD. Does anyone have the experience with these units to advise regarding their comparitive ability for stereo music. I think I could connect the analog output of either unit with balanced lines to my Proceed PAV/PDSD.
