as for the cd player source:
Marantz CD5001 ($299) CD PLAYER
Oppo Digital DV981HD (#229) DVD PLAYER
the marantz is my fav cd player in my price range that ive seen.. i like the oppo digital's versitility alot but the big drawback is i would have to get an amp right away to use headphones with a dvd player and amps are pretty expensive not sure it would fit in my budget as with the cd player i wouldn't need an amp right away or maybe ever.
i actually could use a dvd player upgrade my jvc has served me well but it's extreme slim design causes jitters and stutters in dvd playback which annoys me at times also it doesn't play all formats like oppo.
tough choices.
the marantz + grado sr60 at about 370$ would be perfect for my budget and so that is where i am leaning. (then put aside money for another pair like the audio-technica)
any comments or advice is appreciated.
should i try and go out of my budget and get one of the other headphones? should i try and get an amp and go with the universal player that offers more flexibility and upgrade dvd player? will the marantz lack of playability on all formats hurt me in the end?
all valid questions not sure the answers to.
