I am looking to purchase a dvd player in the next week or two and seeking opinions on the Tosh SD9000 ,Pioneer DV-05, and the Sony
DVP-S7700.The most important feature for me is transport quality( i plan on using this for a cd transport as well as dvd player) followed by picture
quality. I was able to look at the Tosh for a few minutes and liked what i saw. The Sony i have not seen, but have been told that the older
version( dvp-7000) was an excelent transport. I auditioned the pioneer last weekend, however it broke on the second disk ( does not
leave me with a very positive opinion ).On a side note, is there a new version of the Tosh SD9000 comming out in the near future, and if so what new features will it offer.
My thanks to all that reply.
My experience with the 7700 has been nothing but the most positive. I like the front panel closing over the tray. Keeps it clean. The picture quality is great. Letterbox looks great. I can't tell you how it compares to other transports but so far so good. The remote is fine & the slow mo does the job. Ive been using the CD lens for all my stereo listening but I plan on in house comparisons to a couple of Cal CD players.. I use the DAC in my B&K ref20 but the DAC in the 7700 sounds pretty smooth. Component Out is a must if your monitor supports it! Good luck!
The Sony DVP-S7000 uses Burr Brown DAC's for audio. I believe the DVP-S7700 uses Sony DAC's for audio. The transports may also be different. The DAC change does change the sound but since you would use it as a transport for CD's the audio DAC will not matter. I have a DVP-S7000 and I think it is compeditive in its price class as a CD player.
Happy Hunting
The sony 7000 has burr brown dacs? Are you sure? I think you might be wrong on that one.
Hmm... Can't find the review that gave me that info. The dealer told me about the DAC's and I think I read the same thing in a review in s-phile or some place like it. Can't find the article now though. The dealer has a tendency to try to figure out what you want to hear as he talks to you and then modify his presentation accordingly. I have no proof of the DAC's being Burr Brown's at this time.
I own the 7700 and have heard the Toshiba and Pioneer. No competition for my ears--the Sony was above the others. Just had more of what I like (clarity, neutrality, (add more audiophile-approved descriptors here).
I have a Pioneer DV-09, Sony DVP-S7000, Denon DVD3000 and Toshiba 3006 players.The Sony has not been reliable as a CD transport (refuses to play a number of discs, once became stuck and refused to open). When it works, however, it has very good transport sound.
The Toshiba is a terrible transport with awful sound and apparently high levels of jitter.
The Denon is fine, but hardly reference quality.
The Pioneer DV-09 sounds pretty good, has the best picture and has the added advantage of delivering a 24/96 bitstream at its digital output. I bought mine for $1300 from Canada.
Mike,What do you do with all those DVD players?
