Currently I have a panasonic rp-62 which I use for DVD and music. It is hooked to my system, which is a Sherwood/Newcastle P-965, via an optical cable. I am thinking about replacing my rp-62 with the forthcoming sherwood SD-871 (http://www.sherwoodusa.com/prod_sd871.html).
What I am wondering is, if during audio play I am using the DACs of the pre/pro, would there really be any advantage in audio by using a different player? Obviously this will be good for SACD/Multi-channel, but for example during movies, would I notice any audio difference?
I hear about people saying that the CD player is the weak link in their system from time to time, but I don't necessarily understand this if they are using digital connections to the pre? enlighten me oh great ones!
Im thinking about jumping on this when it is released because next year when HDDVD is out, there will be little to no spending and a lot of saving for a house. That will allow me to see how the standard battle goes anyways...
