Use the Samsung to play the hi-rez discs that you have for now. If I could do it over again I would've put money into the best redbook player I could afford. I have a Pioneer DV-47ai universal player that sounds pretty good w/ redbook and is also a good SACD and DVD-A player... but I know now that what I really need is a killer CD source (the bulk of my collection). I'll live with the Pioneer until I can afford a great CD player, and I'll keep it for the SACDs and DVD-As that I have. This is probably the golden age of CD playback... there are so many good choices available. I'm eyeballing a Rega Apollo right now.Something else you might consider is a DAC using the Rega or the Samsung as a transport. If you can find a good DAC in your price range, it could be a more flexible solution in the long run.
Cheers
