Hi,
This is my first post and I got to say great site!
I have a Sony AV reciever (STR-DE598 - not great but I am poor and it was cheapish).
I want to buy a CD player (also Sony as I like my stuff to match - don't ask me why it's one of my hang ups) to wire into it. But I am on a very limited budget.
The lowest price Sony CD player I can find is CDP-XE270 at around £65, this has an optical out but no remote. While searching the net I found this DVD player DVP-NS30 which is cheaper (about £45) and it has a remote.
I already have a DVD player so I am not going to watch DVD's with it but my question is which would you rather go for?
Is there any advantage the CD player has over the DVD player in terms of sound quality for CD playback?
Also I am already using up my optical and digital coax socket(s) so both would go into my system via the phono inputs.
Plus the reason I am go for cheap stuff now is I am saving up to replace it with a Denon system (I so badly want the AVR-4306 reciever).
