Just wondering whether DVD5 owners are using it in conjunction with a CD player or as their one and only. If in "addition to" a CD player, which CD player do you own. If "one and only" what did it replace?

karyboue,

How does the CD performance compare with the CD5/FC2 you had?

Dicks Egypt,

How does the DVD5's CD performance compare with the CDX/XPS you had? I used to own a CDX, so I'm familiar with that unit.

Thanks, Scott

In between a cd5i and cd5x. Probably closest to a cd5 in terms of performance.

CDX/XPS is very good so the dvd5 has a hard act to follow. I'm very pleased with the CD quality although a compomise, but I now have large collection of music DVD's that I watch on our 42" panasonic with Hicap's 82 135's and Isobarik front end.

My neighbours are away currently so I've been experimenting recently Big Grin

Apart from playing DVDs loud I decided to try some music CDs to see how they compare to the CDX2/XPS2 - just out of interest.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The CDs sound amazingly good though I daresay, not quite with the voice I like. I did have a step through the various modes except stereo as I forgot about that.

The outcome is that I could live with the DVD5 as my only source.

My last observation is that the HT setup I have would make an extremely good party setup Big Grin I got as far as 50 on the AV2 volume control and that was damn loud and vibrated everything in the room but was still amazingly clear.

I would think I would have to either invite my neighbours or pay for a hotel room for them for the night if I ever have a party!

Steve.
