Mike,

The point of the CD12 example was about specialisation extending to the ver= y high-end.

I was trying to suggest that the ideal source for CD replay was a dedicated= CD player, not a DVD player, no matter how good.

I'm in the fortunate position to have been able to sped a reasonable amount= of time listening to the CD12 over the last couple of years, with a number= of different pairings... and I don't find ANY DVD player as good for music= :-)

Of course, if the fairy godfather appeared and granted me a single hi-fi co= mponent as a wish, I still might go for a DVD player, but that's more to do= with the fact that I tend to spend more time watching films than listening= to music :-)

Regards,

Mark

dian *active* speakers could well give it somewhat of an advantage.
