Yeah..being using them for many many musical sweet years. I am old school enjoying disc changing and booklet browsing

Yeah bro. That's most important of all. Enjoying the music!

Any Marantz cd player owners compared cd audio quality with bluray player that have analogue out?

How was it? What did you find?

I have 2 BD players, a Panasonic DMP BDT220 and Pioneer BDP-180 but no standalone cd player and I'm curious about the differences in sound quality.

analog out = built in dac do the work.
dvd and bd focus on 48khz & 96khz + multi channel performance.
stand alone cd player focus on 44.1khz stereo only.

i can notice quantitization process (weak & strong)
certain bd player like ps3 can force 44.1khz & 88.2khz process in menu.

from your experience does the higher sampling rate of bd player and quantitization process you mentioned worsen cd sound quality and is it audible?

which marantz cd player are you using?

thanks for sharing

i listen at friends house cd6003 player.
the result is "singing alive" vs "feel like recorded song"

it doesnt give more details or reduce them, just miss natural timing.
where we says natural not equal to accurate.
bd player & high res audio are super accurate device.

appreciate your input

saw what hi fi awarded them 5 star.
btw, any idea where can get PM7005 new? Seems no more in market? PM8006 no DAC option so not my cup of tea.

Certainly audible when using BD player to play CD... BD using 48k based clock while our CD is using 44k.

Added owner list on first page~

What audible difference can you hear?

How about optical out from bd player to external dac? Sampling become 44k or still 48k? Do you know?

With optical out to dac than will be following the CD source which will be 44.1k to be exact. Personally I will prefer Coaxial

Ok. For pioneer bdp180 no coaxial out. But when I optical out to yamaha r-n803 ess dac, I feel the sound a bit thin. Prefer analogue out, sounds fuller. The bd player just using mediatek av processing chip.

Every component in the chain of setup do have effect on the output. So is hard to say is because of analog out or digital out. Is pretty much mix and match to what you want. Different player will give you different sound as well.

Any experience with optical cables? I’m using those plastic type RM20+ for 1.5m bought in Aeon. A few articles online say cheap plastic or expensive glass cable no difference, but I’m not sure.
