What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?

Steve, when u mod gear for people u should set their gear up or tell them. I have had it on slow mode for i dont know how long. For those who r interested, its in the Initial setup 2(hit setup on remote) - go to audio filter - choose sharp or slow.

To access "slow mode", go to the setup menu - on screen video. One of the tabs leads you to this using the remote control to navigate.

Whites - I usually run a full diagnostic and check the modes now. You may have been an early customer, prior to when I started doing this.

I have owned the Pioneer '09 and the Sony 7700. I have the Audiomeca Enkainthus as my dac. I tried both of these as transports,only,against my Theta Data3. The main difference is in the low end of the music.It is noticable;it just ain't there--no matter what the rags say.

The main reason is the laser p/u and clock! Dedicated laser p/u and clocks for audio redbook and dvd video are spec'd differently. So though the drawer mechanism of a dvd player can be as sturdy (if not sturdier) the circuit was made to read video data not audio.

As for single disc vs. changer, just think simple is better. However, even a cd changer outperforms a single disc dvd player as a redbook transport.
