Silver Member Username: John_aPost Number: 357 Registered: Dec-03 | Any views or experiences concerning DVD-A players? I am thinking of the Cambridge Audio azur 540D and the NAD T533. From the specifications (see links), the Cambridge Audio has six 12-bit/54MHz video DACs, while the NAD has one 4 x 10 bit Video DAC running at 54MHz. Does this matter? I know little about video. For audio, the Cambridge Audio has a Crystal CS4360 24-bit/192kHz six channel DAC, while the NAD has "Audiophile Quality 24 bit/192kHz DACs". NAD used to specify Crystal DACs, but not here. Does this matter? My current NAD T532 DVD-V-CD player has "Audiophile quality 96kHz/24 bit Crystal DAC and Burr-Brown Op-amps". It is just great, both for audio and video. I shall be sorry to see it go. But I do want DVD-A. Is there anything else as good as these for audio, in a similar price range? Two too many questions: should one consider DVI or HDMI? If so, which is more "future-proof"? I can't handle either at present, but live in hopes. This posted under Audio/CD Players, too. With thanks. |
