My Cyberhome isn't broken in yet. I know about the cryo post before. My listening was vs. Philips DVDR 75 and Pioneer Elite DV-47Ai. The latter is arguably high end, but is bright and hard and needs mod to make it really listenable, esp. vs. analog.A few months ago, the Cyberhome was indistinct and imprecise but did play reasonable sound and had a picture which was at least 80% of the Pioneer, but on my 12 yr old CRT Panasonic TV (Norah Jones, Live in New Orleans). It sounded distinctly superior to the Philips. But now, the Philips has caught up some (breakin?) and might best the Cyberhome.
I compared the Cyberhome to my old Sony CDP-C525 (similar to yours) because the Sony was starting to malfunction (open box special for $179.00 back in 1991). A few months ago, in my 2nd system of SS 80's vintage with monitors only, and there was very little difference. For a cheap changer, the Sony still sounds inoffensive and pretty good, but has the usual digital issues of lack of full life, hardness at times, etc.
Again, you figure.
