In order for you to really hear the difference between players you need to use the stereo analog outputs. If someone was going to just use the internal DAC of a HT receiver, I'd agree not to spend much money on a player or just use the DVD player they have but in Carl's case where he will have a quality amp and speakers for stereo listening it would be worth buying just as high of quality CD playback because he would be counting on the players analog interprtation of the music.
So then what I was hearing was purely a figment of my imagination? Sorry but I don't think I was dreaming during these tests.
