CDP-102 VS CDT-300 Disc transport

[rompower]

Hi there

I am going to buy one of those... CDP-102 OR the cdt 300

Classé claims it would be better if I buy the CDT-300 and let my ssp-800 decode the signal to analogic... Means that I have to digitally transfert audio signal from cdt-300 to ssp-800...

Anyone can comment?

102 = 4500$
CDT-300 = 5000

Thanks

I would get the CDT-300

If you can use the video scaling capabilities of the CDT then the extra $500 is worth it to have a one box solution. As for audio, using either the 102 or the 300 as a transport (to the SSP-800 for conversion) will be identical but the 102 will fall short if used as a player (converter).

I own a CDT 300 as well, and I learned this cannot play multichannel DVD audio, since it lacks multichannel output, unlike CDP-300. Just so you know.

The problem is circumvented with the SSP-800 and an HDMI connection to your CDT-300. :T

Yeah... choice is made =) CDT 300 will join my little ssp-800
