Thats what I said too until last week when I got home and he was leaning on the front of my speaker and smacking the speaker driver with the flat of his hand. Just to add to my frustration when I picked him up rather quickly I noticed in the front hole of my speaker within the horn portion I saw his water bottle within the speaker. Quote:

If they weren't cute, they wouldn't still be alive.

I remember many years ago walking into the family room only to see my dog lifting his leg on my brand new, beautifully crafted, solid walnut Advent speakers (back when Advent made really nice stuff). I guess he was showing these new "intruders" who was king of the house. It's a good thing he was cute too (LOL).
Getting back on theme here, I've been in a similar quandry as of late using my Panny RP79 for all of my audio as well as video. My 22 year old CD player finally bit the bullet a little while back. The Panny plays DVD-Audio as well which I have absolutely fallen in love with even though it seems very few others have and it is dying a slow but seemingly certain death. I've been thinking about upgrading since the DVD-Audio is sent via analog through my Outlaw 990 thus bypassing it's DAC and I'm not real sure how good the DAC in the Panny is. I'm just not sure what to do, or how much difference it would make, or if I should just purchase a really nice CD player since I have tons of CD's and only a few DVD-Audio discs.

Your quandry sounds familiar. I have a Panasonic s-97 which I use for dvd-a via analog and it sounds excellent. For CDs it isn't very good and the sound is just not as transparent and lacks dynamic range. When I use it for cds its just as a transport into an Arcam processor which has a better Wolfson chip. That's what led me to buy a higher end player like the Rotel 1072 with great DACs for cd playing. Because I like to compare and experiment I also picked up a sacd player Sony scd9000es which sounds wonderful with SACD but doesn't compare to the Rotel with ordinary redbook cds.
The difference in sonic quality is very evident to everyone who hears them. I have to admit I too am somewhat perplexed by people who scoff at how different players or processors or analog vs digital connections can sound different.
