In Reply to: RE: Oppo BDP-83 vs Sony DVP-S7000 as CD transport posted by tpaxadpom on September 26, 2014 at 19:48:04
Thanks! for sharing. While i have not heard the Sony- I do use the Pioneer 59-AVi (DVD only) and it is a killer flowing into my Sony XBR CRT.
Beautiful audio and video, especially music-themed DVD. Connected w/ a WireWorld silver starlight 5.2 HDMI, life is good indeed!

Speaking of bargain transports, my recent find is a Samsung BD-H6500 Blu-Ray player. Sending raw bitstream data to my Arcam AVR400 via optical toslink, it sounds glorious. Timing is great, sound is detailed but not harsh. Bass is clear and pianos sound like a piano. Zero listening fatigue, even at high volumes. It is the best transport I have used to date, better than Sony ES, Cambridge Audio and Yamaha CD players, Panasonic Blu-Ray and Toshiba DVD. Granted, have not compared to dCS or other super high end transport, but this player only cost $149 new. And it does a good job with video and audio on Blu-Ray disks and streamed sources (Sound and Vision compared H6500’s HT performance favorably to Oppo 103D, although Samsung build is highly suspect). The Samsung has two built-in processors – don’t know if that helps with jitter or what, but results are really quite good.
Up to this point, while high res multichannel audio was terrific with the ARCAM, I was ready to write-off the DACs in the AVR400 for two channel redbook playback, and was shopping for an external DAC as the analog-in from my phono pre and old CDP were killing streamed data played through the internal DACs. YMMV.
Very nice. Thanks! for sharing.
Knownothing, having read your post about the amazing $149 Sansung at the digital thread of Audiogon I await reading it at the audiophile CD thread at AVS.
Into a Sony XBR CRT, Fantja? I input HDMI from an Oppo 95 and DirecTV HD-DVR directly to a 46 Sony XBR8 in a secondary system. It sounds surprisingly good, but far from the sound of our primary system.

Yes. The WireWorld HDMI cable is that good...
Yes. I own a Sony 960N XBR CRT.
