In my system, using the Pioneer DV414 as a CD transport to feed a Mark Levinson No. 360S processor, the sound was disconcertingly sibilant. When I routed the signal from the Pioneer through an MSB Technology Digital Director, which is a digital video switcher with a built-in anti-jitter device, the sibilance decreased to a more natural level. Bass also firmed up. Although the Pioneer can read CDs, it doesn't do so without laying a lot of jitter onto the music. I was hoping a cheapie DVD player would make a decent CD transport, but there's no free lunch.
