Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners CD Players? Do they sound different?

Oak,

So, how old is the CD changer you are currently using? Unless it is so old that a very primitive oversampling circuit is used, you might not hear any improvement from a brand new unit. The CD technology has been mature for a good while now, so that the actual bottleneck for sound quality is in the media format itself, not in the playback hardware.

Also, I would say that today's DVD players produce basically identical sound to a dedicated "high-end" CD player, even if you use the onboard DAC in the player. Of course, as chess said, it is identical, period, if you digitally connect it to your receiver/amp.
