I'm on the verge of buying a new DVD player.
Ideally, I'd like for it to replace both my ageing Samsung 807 DVD player and my even older CD player. I've narrowed down my shortlist to the following two machine:
- Sony DVP-NS905V
- Pioneer DV-656A
What I would like the machine to have is the following:
- DD/DTS digital out.
- VideoCD / MP3 / CD-R / SACD playback.
- CD-Text support.
- Fast mechanism. (The Samsung is really slow at searching and navigating through a disc.)
- Good at coping with scratched discs. (eg. from video library. Again the Samsung is really bad at this.)
The Pioneer is the machine I really want as it fulfils most of my requirements and also includes DVD-Audio support. However, it doesn't appear to have CD-Text support which I would really like to have. Can anyone confirm if this or any other Pioneer DVD player has CD-Text support?
The alternative would be to go for the Sony and forget about DVD-Audio. The general opinion from magazines is that SACD is winning the SACD v DVD-Audio battle. What do people think?
Also, if anyone has an other suggestions I'd be very interested to hear them.
Cheers,
Chris
