Hi !

I have Denon DVD-1920 - an excellent universal player (SACD, DVD-A, DiVX, etc.). It cost me 28.5 K.

I read somewhere that Samsung HD-950 is a good universal player for about 9 K. It doesn't seem to be available in the market.

If you are not too keen on SACD, DVD-A and HDMI output, then adding a dedicated CD player is the best option. I would recommend NAD C521BEE (16K) or Marantz CD-5100 (14K).

I would advise against a used CDP.

BTW where are you based?

Obviously the source. Cables can only convey the signals produced by the components or degenerate them - never improve them.

I find it as good, may be an edge better.

BTW your title reads Dr. ... are you a medico? What do you do?

upgrading the source is definitely the way to go..but whats the budget like ? i deally you can keep your current player and add an additional DAC only for 2 channel music.
not sure of a resal value of a DVD hence upgrading may not be very easy.

I do remember a good universla player in the for sale forum here.. not sure if it still available

But now there is Photoshop !

Anyone know of a Kodak Carousal Slide projector for sale ?

I am also on the look out for a good, used professional scanner for 35 mm slides.

Actually im using the DVD player as a transport,with my AVR[marantz].Is there much difference between the AVRs DAC and an external DAC.OR does the addition of an external DAC make an entry level dvd player a good cd player?

the difference like an entry level speaker vs a mid fi one.. DAC in most avrs suck big time and in dvdps suck even more. and it is the dac which actually converts the digits in the cd to something the ampifier can actually understand..
let me see if i remember my "eye101" well.

if the transport is equivalent to the lens in the pupil, the dac would be the retina which makes it into "intelligent neural" signals to be sent to the brain. of course that funny liquid (VITREOUS HUMOR ) could be the digital cable

Unlike Toslink Optical Digital Cables - Vitreous has a much broader band-width. This combined with extremely high sampling rate & bit-length of Retina - there is absolutely no jitter !!!!!!!

So did you see what I said

Dear Arj,

I know that you are learning photography these days so you really need to learn about human eye. Neono & I could hold a course for you

doc; such offers are dangerous I might just about take you up on that one but jokes aside any comments on photography are welcome..even if they are brutally frank.. at least seeing a photograph is more objective than hearing a sound as there is proof on paper rather than a subjective memory

it sure is another fascinating area.. never knew so much existed

i was just reading up on the ear the other day to understand about our hearing.. it is an amazing read such a complicated but synchronised machinery !

the best is about us actuially hearing in 24 chaneels per ear and here we keep discussing on just ameasly 2 channels in stereo

Which stethescope reproduces the rhythm of the heart beat most accurately? BTW, are they digital with DACs or pure analog Who says, cardiologists don't listen to music. The heart beat is more rhythmic than any drum beat

Cardiologists actually don't listen to any music these days. They too are lost in equipment - Echocardiography, Angiography, CT Angio, etc. They hardly hold the stethoscope.

BTW Littmann (3M) makes some good stethoscope and fortunately they are all analogue

Dear Arj,

The 24 channel per ear that you mentioned are found in Cochlear Implant - an artificial device implanted inside the ear to restore hearing. Natural ear has infinite channels And beyond the inner ear or cochlea it's all "digital"

The Paris photos are nice. Stop worrying about technique, exposure etc. just work on the composition, mood, light, shadows, contrast, colors, etc. It's one big advantage of digital photography.

I have also signed up at flickr and will soon start posting some photos. Then we'll exchange notes.

Sad, you docs are going our "audiophile" way. Whiling our time chatting on equipment instead of listening to good music. Good Night Doc. Norah awaits me

Please also take a look at the Yamaha S657 DVD player. It is also a universal player (DVD-A, SACD, DivX, WMA, MP3) but does not scale the picture to HD quality or offer HDMI. Instead it offers oversampling of audio data though this may not be of much use. It has got pretty good reviews with regard to picture quality. It is priced at around 11,000 which makes it a worthy rival to the Samsung HD860 mentioned here.
