Will a Denon 2200's DAC's equal or better my SCD-C555ES player for Redbook playback ?

[Chip]

I'm looking consolidate some gear. I have a S9000ES DVD/SACD player thats been recently retired due to it exibiting some erros. I now have my Panasonic RP91 in my rack. I also have a SCD-C555ES multichannel SACD/CD player in the rack.
Question is: Will the Denon 2200 be as good or, better via analog 2 channel connection to my Ref50 as my 555ES CD changer? If the answer is yes, it'll allow me to sell a couple pieces and consolidate. I don't know much about different DAC's. My best guess would be the 555ES would outgun the Denon 2200 for 2 channel analog out. I know i love the sound of it now, and don't hear much difference vs. going digital out and letting the Ref50 handle it. I use the 555's DAC's. I'd like to have one player do superior video, great Redbook, DVD-A & SACD. Thanks.

8) I too own the DVD 2200 and I'm really happy with it. I'm not the expert on DAC's but I'm sure some of the guys in this forum can share some opinions and advise Where can I find some REDBOOK DVD'A AND SACD?

Nico, the term Redbook refers to CD's only. At least as I understand it.

I've posted this query around the net..concensus seems to be, the triple 5 won't easily be outgunned by most DVD players. Some of the more expensive ones maybe, but the SCD-C555ES is very good. I may pick up a Denon 2200 as my new DVD player and use it for DVD-A and maybe SACD. My 555 sounds pretty sweet on SACD too.
