DVD or Bluray player with good cd playback

>>Has any one heard the cd playback of the pana bluray???

The BD30 CD playback is above average. It compares well with other similarly priced DVD players. The volume is a bit lower, so you would need to adjust that before comparing.
Of course my NAD C542 is a bit warmer and more refined.

I would not buy a DVD player now, just because it plays CDs slightly better than a Blu-ray player. You would be compromising on both audio as well as video. It is better to buy a Blu-ray player for movies, and a dedicated budget CD player, if you are not satisfied with the CD sound.

Which CD player are you using right now?

Thanks,
Sharad

Hey! Thanks for the adviceSharad my friend, but sadly the advice is just a bit late in the day. As Iâve already bought a Oppo 983.
Yes I was contemplating as to get a Pana bluray, as in the long run I would've compromised on the video as well as audio. But I was unable to get a listen to the pana before i got the Oppo.
On comparing the Oppo sounds a bit better, also i would've spent arnd 30k instead of 18k on a avg bluray payer with avg sound or i wouldâve have to get the pioneer lx-70a which 80k in bill or 63 in grey.
As for my cd player- on another set up(Nad320bee/Dyn aud52) Iâm using the nad 542.
Though Iâve yet to burn & use the Oppo extensively I get the feeling that the Nad does sound much warmer & refined compared to the Oppo.
Thanks again.
Cheers.
