Rdv-1050???

[Fishy]

Have I done a wise thing. I bought the RDV-1050 today to go with the rest of my system. How do you guys and maybe girls think this will fit in with the rest of my system?

RSP-1098
RDV-1050
RMB-1075
RB-03 (Bridged for centre channel)
PMC DB1's front and rear
PMC TB2M-C
Rel Stampede sub.

Should I have gone for the 1060 or maybe an Arcam?

Thanks
Fish

Daniel, to my knowledge (which is limited ) I dont think I have any HDCD's.

Ok, thanks anyway

Besides my problems with HDCD, im very pleased with the player.
The only thing i miss is the 12v trigger...

Don't really need the trigger on that unit though because it has the auto shut off option which I like.


The HDCD to me is a huge problem with the unit and it is almost to the point of taking it back. HDCD is now what.... 6 years old? Possibly.. I remember it being new when I used to own my Adcom GCD 750 (I loved that unit)....

but still, widely used and appreciated.

Happy new year all of you.

Sure the 1098 has HDCD decoder.
HDCD is nice, even 6 years old, it brings a high improvement over the normal CD (I recognise it especially in the bass, more control, more dynamics and still deep and warm). Shame that there is only few discs that have supported the HDCD. There is some good Jazz and Smooth Jazz musicians that have recorded one or more of their disc's in HDCD. The good thing with HDCD is that they run on normal CD players as well, contrary to other formats that need extra equipment. To me, but that is personal, HDCD sounds better than SACD, for what I have heard 'till now. Honestly said I must agree that I have not much experience with SACD yet, so don't shoot me if I am wrong.

Asterduc,

The question isnt if 1098 has a HDCD-decoder or not, if you read a thread "HDCD on a RSP-1068/RDV1050 kombo" (or something like that) you will se that 2-3 persons (me included) doesnt get HDCD-decoding to work with the RDV-1050.

I have compared the RDV-1050 to the Arcam Diva DV79 - And i went for the RDV-1050...... there really wasn´t much difference....except the price tag....the arcam is IMHO way overpriced concidered it´s performence.
