General question about CD players.
I had a decent mid-level CD player (Marentz cd5400) that just died on me and was wondering if it would be worth my $$$ to get another CD player.Here's the situation,I hooked it up to my receiver (H/K AVR 7300) using the optical out,so I was using the receivers dac for the conversion.I also have a Panasonic DVD-S77 which is also optically hooked up to my receiver.I never tested these 2 units against each other for cd's,so I am not sure I will be missing something using the DVD-S77 for cd's.So my question is if you are using the receiver's DAC,is there muck of a difference in sound quality from a low budjet cd player to a mid level one like the cd5400??Hope I explained myself correctly:confused5:
