I can not write a real review of the D3, because my english is not good enough.
This is just a micro review.
Hope you understand what I am trying to say. Be gentle with me.
A few words about it`s performance.
As a cd player it`s great, it is way better than a Sony SCD xb940. I prefer the xlr to the rca output.
The bass is rock hard and goes very deep.
The midrange and tweeter is smooth and neutral.
The " sound picture " is very deep and wide, the instruments are well separated.
As a SACD player it is even better.
As a dvd player I have compared it to a Pioneer 696 and the Toshiba HD-DVD XA1. The display was a BenQ 8720 dlp projector and a HDMI connection.
The screen was 77" widescreen.
The D3 performed way better than the Pioneer, but that was expected because of the big price diffrence.
Compared the tosh, it is very close in performance. Me and my friend could
not see any big diffrences in the picturequality. That was 1080i. Using 720p
the D3 is much better than the Tosh XA1.
Remember I am not a pro, so this is just my experience with the Halo D3.
My sound system is all Parasound Halo:
D3, C2, A51.
Speakers, all Bowers and Wilkins:
front: cdm9
center: cdmc
rear: cdm7
back: cdm7
sub: asw 4000
Cables: between D3 and C2: Kimber Hero XLR and Ethereal coax digital.
between C2 and A51: Ethereal XLR
between A51 and B&W cdm9: PSaudio extream statement.
The rest is Supra classic 6
power cables are all PS audio extream prelude.

Definitely the blue eyes... Once I used to be blonde, and my 2 year old son shows the same traits. Unfortunately, the blonde seems to fade away with the years :rofl:
