Angry DVD Players good for movies or music ?

hi all ,
for the last 10 years i was using a vcd player for watching movies and listening to music . i was fully satisfied by the result for both. but recently i purchased a DVD player . while watching movies on dvd it was o.k. but not great, but the real setback was listening to music on my new DVD player. when playing my audio CD's on my new DVD player i felt that life has suddenly gone out of my music system.

i have switched to my old faithfull vcd player for listening to my audio cd's. i invite all members of the forum to share there views on listening to audio cd's on a DVD player.

regards

Re: DVD Players good for movies or music ?

A DVD player will never sound as good as a dedicated CD player but some are a reasonable compromise. Marantz, Cambridge Audio and Denon make DVD players that are quite capable performers with regard to CD audio - especially their universal players. The commonly found DVD players like Pioneer (not the 9xx series), LG, Samsung, Akai, Philips etc. are the worst offenders. They are best used as transports, i.e. a digital out fed to an AVR or DAC to do the actual decoding.

Using the coaxial/ optical output and decoding and amplifying from a better receiver is the best way. How good could be the 5.1 decoder or DAC in a DVD player which costs Rs 3000 or 4000?
