Hi all! I have a Denon DVD-1920 player with a Denon AVR-1906 AV amp (with Mordaunt Short 902i speakers for the 'Front' channels)
I listen to more music than I watch movies and was wondering how the DVD-1920 compares for music (CD) playback vs a budget (sub £200) dedicated CD player. I currently use high quality phono interconnects from the DVD player to the AVR-1906 for music playback (and the digital optical output for movie soundtracks). The other option is to use something like a Beresford DAC to improve the audio output quality from the DVD player (optical or coaxial digital) to the amp. The further option is to add a 'proper' hi-fi amp just to drive the Mordaunt Short front speakers (using the AVR-1906's Front Channel Pre-amp Outputs to feed this amp), and connect all my other music sources (Rega P3 turntable, DAB tuner, etc) directly into this, as I'm sure it would do a better job than the AV amp.
All comments welcomed! Cheers, Karl.
