to CD / DVD or not to CD / DVD


I've had some discussions where people have told me you can't get anything good with a unit that plays both cd's and dvds (either in the same port or two different ones). I wanted to know how much you sacrifice or how good you can get and still have one unit for your various discs. And if ou know a good one, any recommendations?

I own two units. A meridian (596) in my home theatre which is both a super dvd and cd player and a esoteric SA-60 in my two channel rig (which is on the cover of stereophile this month) a universal disc player. The other really incredible contender in the universaly player market <5K is the ayre player. If you have the funds and can swing a fully loaded meridian 800 player you would drop dead to hear how incredible dvd and cd can sound together!
(Nothing really beats vinyl though)
