I need to buy a new Blu-ray player and CD player to replace my old Pioneer DVD/CD player.
I appreciate that a stand alone CD player provides better sound quality but I am playing this through a Pioneer VSX-D2011 home cinema receiver so the amplification is not quite up there with the best.
So do I go for a PS3 and an Arcam CD player (maybe a 192), or do I go for the Pioneer LX71 and use that for my CDs too? The review said the sound quality was very good but how good is that? Anywhere near a 192 or even a 73? What about taking the receiver ino consideration?
In the future I will be upgrading the receiver for the new Pioneer 71 or 81 but that is a long way off. I won't be going for a separate 2 channel amp.
So, one box or two boxes? Be good to have some WHF staff responses regarding the LX71 sound quality with CDs and what would be a comparable stand-alone player.
Thanks
