Just replaced my ageing DVD player with a brand spanking new Pioneer 757Ai. WOW! what a difference. I was never really unhappy with the old player for DVD playback (CD was a little lacking) but I guess what you don't know wont hurt your bank balance.
Many thanks to the knowledgeable people on these forums who have helped me choose some superb kit.
I'm well impressed with CD audio quality (was going to buy a dedicated player but will buy some CDs instead now) but the gist of my question is what is the absoute best now that I can use the different formats available.
Should I buy SACD, DVDA, CD or DVD video. Some albums are available on more than one format obviously it's nice to have the video also but for pure sound quality which is the order to go for.
Technolgy says DVDa, SACD, DVD video then CD or am I wrong?
I am frequently amazed with the good quality of some CDs and the poor quality (must be down to the mastering) of others. Is this the main controlling factor to pure audio quality?
Anyone out there with experience of the formats got a comment?
