Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Auditioned CD Player in my HT last night

I used to listen to my CDs in my 15 year old Yammaha carousel player. Then I got a Cambridge Audio Azur 540D DVD player and played my CDs via the DVD player but digital out to my preamp. The sound is night and day, that's because my preamp, the Anthem AVM 20 has really good AKM dacs. I listen to all my CDs on my Preamp

I'm sure high end dedicated CD units probably sound better, but given that 80% of my music listening is lossless encoded FLACs or APEs, that setup is good enough for the times I actually do listen to a CD.
