I could argue (successfully), that the problem may lie elsewhere. Unless someone has ... | |
| How much does the transport affect sound quality? As far as telling you what kind of differences you'll notice, I really can't. Its no different than matching any other component.

Also, if you have any other type of disk player, doesn't matter if its cheap, maybe try that. It just needs to have some type of digital out. Even if you don't think the transpo... | |

| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice "A budget CD player can sound damn fine, and anyone who has been in this game long enough can tell you that. Please give the pontificating about $3000 players a break. Dylanfan, ignore this "advice."I have to agree. If you judge audio components b... | |
