Hi Guys,
I recently bought a Marantz PM5004 and QAcoustics 2020i for a stereo setup.
Sounds awesome :yahoo:
Im currently using DVD players to play my audio cds and mp3s from a USB drive.
My problem is that to navigate in the DVD player, I need to turn on the TV to actually browse and play songs. This is quite cumbersome.
I was wondering if it would make sense from a usability perspective to invest in a dedicated CDP like Marantz, Denon etc as the cost involved is quite high :sad:
I guess there is not doubt about the quality increase from a DVD player which is reason no 1. But I'm also considering the usability aspect mainly.
I do have a couple of iPods at my place which also has music.
I'm actually considering a TEAC CDP650 from the US which seems to a sweet deal as it also has iPod compatibility, and very decent specs.
However, I'm not sure if browsing the mp3 files on these sort of CDPs are easy.
Bottom line - I do not want to use my TV to actually browse through files every time.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

Tejas
