I'm trying to figure out if the quality of sound from my CD player, an old 98 Pioneer 50 CD
player, is a result of the player or my system. I also have a Sony DVD/CD player that I've
used to compare with the Pioneer, but they seem to sound the same. The Pioneer has
analog outputs, and the Sony has an optical output. I don't want to go SACD, but am up
for upgrading the CD player. Since my amp is a Marantz, I'm looking at the CC4001 CD
player. The specs state it has SA-CD grade quality sound. Will this player give me better
quality sound, or am I wasting my time? Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
