The laser angles are different for DVDs and CDs, thus a vote for 2 units. Some do have "dual" lasers, but I used to own a sony 3300 and it great on DVDs, not on music. As I've gotten older, I watch more movies. If I didn't, I would get good dedicated transport and seperate d/a converter for music.
Replace DVD or add dedicated CD?
I have been upgrading my system the last two months and at this point I'm at the source. I am using Sony DVP-S330 DVD player as both a DVD and CD player. This is a 2.5 year old player. I have a 27" Sony and won't upgrade that for a while.
Since I've been upgrading, I am listening to more music than movies. I've come to realize that with music, the Sony is a bit fatiguing. My question is: do I replace the DVD as an all-in-one player or purchase a separate CD player and keep the Sony for DVD? I am happy with the Sony as a DVD player.
I am trying out a Musical Fidelity A3.2 and it is steps above the Sony. My concern is that I would be missing out on DVD-A and SACD (I don't own any of that media however). I would also be thowing in another piece of equipment to deal with as well. Any thoughts on this?
My setup- B&K ref 20 with AV5000 series II amp, Transparent Music Wave (bi-wire) and Link cables, Shunyata power cables, Boston Acoustics VR speakers. Thanks-
