As a DVD player, it offers very good performance. As a DVD-Audio player, it performs only a ittle better than a comparably priced CD player.

I prefer the sound of CDs played back using my Pre/Pros DACs rather than the internal DACs of the JVC.

Unfortunately, at the price point they're delivering this player, to expect it to blow away even a relatively moderate priced Redbook CD
player is a bit much.

If you can afford the price differential, you should steer towards the Sony SACD or the Onkyo DVD-Audio player.

Hope this helps.
