Unless the player has separate lasers for CD and SACD/DVD-A, playback is compromised. As you mention, focusing paramaters are different.
Why does CD suffer on most universal &dvd players?
Hello,
I was just wondering why the redbook CD performance on most stock universal dvd players and even on normal dvd players suffers in comparison to dedicated CD players in your opinion?
Would it be because the playback lasers may be different or focused differently, more complex circuitry for the video and/or SACD/DVD Audio sections causing interference with the sound of the redbook cd circuits, the DAC's having to perform more tasks, possiblly cheaper grade parts for the cd circuits to save costs, a combination of the above, or something else?
Thanks for your opinions.
