my requirements were absolutely the same and I finally went for the CA540D V2...been using it for 2 months now..absolutely stunning picture quality and superb sound true to cambridge tradition...in fact i have heard standalone CD players (the CA340) and could make out any difference myself...check out the review of CA540D in TV, home cinema and hi-fi reviews and news from the experts at whathifi.com ...it does compare it against the Denon 1940, says while Denon does have a better picture, CA sound is unbeatable..I havent seen the Denon 1940, so can't tell u the difference...but do remember the CA540 doesnt play SACD/DVD-A or MP3 CDs, neither does it have a USB input, so if u want features CADVD 99 is probably the better choice, costs abt 12.5 k in Mumbai

Pakzadj:

The Oppo players are available only through the Net in the US. They are also selling in Europe. It is available through some dealer, but it is just not worth buying at the rates at which they will see.

But don't worry, the other players are also very very good. I have been using Pioneer for a long time, and it is very good. As you have read in this therad, the Cambridge Audio is excellent for music as well as movies.

Just audition a few, and make up your mind.

Cheers

Would this work? Do 2-in-1s generally have digital outs? Can an external DAC be connected without a digital out?

Simple because I want to avoid the video processing, and the capability of the head to read umpteen different disc types. Some of the new 2-in-1s have a optical out.

Cheers.

DAC needs digital out. I don't think any 2 in 1's - cheap ones have a digital out

Hi,

Please read the thread posted by Absolute Phase. Now they become the dealer of Oppo products. They offer 5% discount for a limited period.
