Sorry, did I just hear right, that a £300 Oppo DVD player sounds better than a Tag DVD32R ? I just bought a DVD32R for £650 and was advised it arguably the best CD transport ever made! grrrr QUOTE]
No it does not sound better but the picture is better on the oppo.
If you connect it via the synclink it will be a very very good CD player and will easy beat the oppo(although in your later post you dont seem to agree
)
I use Lexicon so the synclink was not important to me for DVD playback
My 32R was first generation so would not play DVD R's and was very picky on CD's which is also an indication of the mech failing. I could have upgraded the mech for £550 but then the rest of it could fail (as has happened with a few on here already)so I decided to sell it while the thing still worked.
