hey hi fiers
,
I have a onkyo sr506 paired with mission m33is as front and mh3 sys centre and surround speakers.
Till recently I was using my cowon iaudio d2( portable player, plays flacs too) for music playback. However it got stolen. I use my dell 1525 for movie playback(hooked to a 21inch sony crt via s video).
I am biased more towards music than movies(though my setup indicates otherwise!
)
I need a good source for good stereo music and movies. I have a friend coming from U.K too.
These are the options I am thinking of:
1. A dedicated entry level cdp+ pio dv410/610 dvdp
I can get the Pio dvd for a low price from dubai and I have seen some cheap cdps on richersounds.com which I can ask my friend to bring down from UK.
TANGENT CDP50-SIL at Richer Sounds - HI-FI Separates, Home Cinema, Speakers, MP3 DVD Portables, Plasma LCD, etc.
Else there is the cdp 100, the nad 515 would be too much of a stretch for me!
2. Get a dvdp which is good for music such as the oppos or the ca's?
I can get the ca dv89 for 80 pounds which is something I can afford! However it doesnt have usb or upscaling. However I am prepared to ignore that.
3. A PC based solution.
This would be best as I have most of my music on hdd and a very few cds/dvds( I would have to start to burning like hell to listen to music on cdps)
a)
Currently, I have a dell1525 laptop and Amd sempron 2400 + asus a7v400 mobo desktop( no sata support). the mobo has only pci and agp support. so i will need a sound card which is pci based,
this will be very pocket friendly!
b)
Get a new desktop! I would love it but cost would be out of my reach
amd x25200+ asus m3n78em- 7000(i can use digital out to avr for 6 channel surround movies)
500gb sata wd grenn-5000
2gb ram- 1400
asus xonar essence stx- 8200( excellent stereo source!)
ups-3700
I already have a lite on dvd burner which I can use. But still the whole set up would cost aroudn 25k! Its way out of my budget unless I purchase step by step!
Help me!:sad:
