CDP under 5k

Being on a `very tight' budget (), particleman correctly advised that a cheap dvd/cd player would be a better compromise than speakers. So I set out on the quest for a cheapo cd player.

Came across this interesiting article on the net. Cd Player - AudioWorld's StraightWire Forums

Comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: CDP under 5k

Are you looking for dedicated cd player?

If not, potentially the Oppo DV-980H. It will also play SACD and DVD-A...
You will need to ask around what the price is in India.

Re: CDP under 5k

Well I don't really care much about DVD etc. If a dedicated CD player under say $100 would be better than a "play-all" i would go for it.

From what I have been reading, oppo seems like a nice low cost option for people who want a play all solution.

The review of the Toshiba though got me thinking. Time to go back to the basics??

Re: CDP under 5k

Oppo is being sold here by A2V /AV in the region of Rs 25000 !
If it can be brought in by someone, the price would be under Rs 10k which makes it a real bargain.

25K for a $169 player.

Isn't that too much mark up?

Re: CDP under 5k

Well it looks like they bothered to reduce the price afterall, the last time I checked with them the quoted price was 35k INR.

Even if you get it shipped by third party paying customs etc. It should still be cheaper.
The dealer selling it at 25K how does he expect to make money when most people will just opt to get it directly and save at least 10k or more.
