Now that I've joined Team Sennheiser, with a META42 on the way, I'm looking at upgrading my source. Since I don't have a DVD player, I thought that perhaps I should get one since it plays CD/CD-R/MP3 as well.

Question: which aspects of the sound output should I pay close attention to when conparing product? Is it audio D/A converter? (many of them gives 96khz at 24 bit but I'm not sure if it's good enough).


EDIT: I'm talking about stand-alone machines here (just in case

)

The Philips DVDQ50T looks nice. It has an "audio only" mode which shuts the video circuitry off when in use to minimise any inteference.

Check out the thread below on Awsome Hi Fi Budget Alert. Fellow headnuts seem to like the sound of the Sony DVPNS 500. For a very good price of $145 , go to http://www.hificoncepts.com/sondvsindvds.html

Good luck!

Thanks for the info Bruce. SACD is not really available in Australia yet. Well it does, but it costs HEAPS!!
