I'm using a Pioneer Elite DV45/A as my DVD player, and a Sony CA70ES 5-disc carousel player for CDs. I can tell a marginal difference between the two in terms of sound quality, but I'm using analog connects for the Sony and a digital cable for the Pioneer. Maybe that's the difference. Who knows? But what I've found is that the Pioneer occasionally has trouble reading the first split-second of any track on audio discs. Anyone else have this trouble?
