Redbook for the long haul


At this point, I'm not interested in SACD (until the format wars settle down), and I'm not necessarily interested in getting a DVD player to use as a redbook transport. So, if I want to stick with redbook CD, what players or transports are worth buying for the long haul? What high-quality units will have service support and parts availability for the next few years?

Jdombrow,

From whatever I have assimilated on the subject of DVD players &/or Universal players being used for redbook CD, I seem to conclude that a DVD player for redbook CD is better than a CDP for redbook CDs. This has something to do w/ a more refined laser for playing DVDs that becomes beneficial when that same DVD player is used to play redbook CDs. So, don't blow off buying a Univsersal or a DVD player to play your CDs just because you don't care for the format wars!! I think that this might be a narrow view-point.

Does anyone else, who is more versed in digital gear than I am, care to comment on the better ability of a DVD player to play redbook CDs??? Thanx.
