CD does provide us with the finest replay available, because the finest recordings are available on CD in my opinion and apart from possibly the Meitner and APL Esoteric based player, the best digital source components are CD players.

As a format, High rez PCM must by definition be 'better' than CD but the replay is poorer because there aren't any high-end DVD-A players out there and the DVD-A titles are spartan.

However, if the titles were available and the likes of Audio Note, Marantz, Zenden, Meitner etc manufactured DVD-A players I'm certain that DVD-A would provide the finest replay available.

I notice that in an earlier post you described the Toshiba SD-9200 as high-end but I owned that player for a few years and it was mid-fi compared to a decent CD front end.

The only DVD-A player I've heard which alluded to the real high-end was a Meridian but even that fell short, and the Denon DVD-A1XV (5910) I own now is again not in the same ball park as a decent CD player.
