In Reply to: WHICH DVDP FOR THE BEST CD SOUND??? posted by WOOSUNG on December 22, 2001 at 10:03:09:
Personally, I would opt for a Pioneer Elite DV-37, it received excellent reviews in Stereophile Home Theater and is a great progressive player. Then have a type 2 audio modification done by Dan Wright or Stan Warren. You can purchase the the DV-37 for $570 and the mods cost $250 (I think), for a total of $820.This DVD would rival anything out there in terms of video and audio quality. You can always get the DV-37 and not have the mods done if you like the quality of the audio.
Just my 2 cents.
Follow Ups:
What type of mods are they? And do they only do them for pioneer DVD players? Thanks
ModWright does modifications on a number of different DVD and SACD players. You can check out their pricing structure at www.modwright.com. Dan has a lot of work on the bench and will be at CES, so don't count on getting something done until late January. You can check out comments and new service introductions at the www. harmonicdiscord.com website as well.I am not a customer yet, but everything I have read and heard from customers have indicated a very high level of satisfaction.
Modwright offers both transport (DAC) and standalone (DVD/CD) modifications. Most current generation SACD or DVD players lack high quality redbook CD playback quality. I am looking for standalone modifications from Modwright, but waiting on the format wars between SACD and DVD-Audio to sort themselves out. Plus, I hate the idea that for multi-channel surround sound you need 5 or 6 sets of interconnects - get real electronics industry!
Personally, I am waiting for a mid-priced (~$400)combo player SACD, progressive DVD, CD (all types) from Sony or Pioneer with high quality video. I figure one or two more years before they get this right. Then I'll get Dan to do some modifications.
Season's greetings.
