I doubt an entry level receiver would have any better digital playback than the Panny. The Panny receivers were well talked about for good performance, too bad they were phased out before the buzz caught on.

What speakers are you using? Whether using a digital vs. analog connection for music is a good one. After exploring this if I was going to spend money I would look at either an entry Marantz or Music Hall CD player if looking for a more musical or warm presentation. Marantz is just good bang for buck good sound, where Music Hall is a warm smooth presentation.

If willing to experiment you can pick up a Pangea power cord for probably under $50.00 with a return policy if not satisfied. The Pangea have a good rep for value.
