I would say no.
In my all-digital system, my CD-capable sources are a Sony BD550 and an old Pioneer laserdisc player. The laserdisc is signicantly better than the Blu-ray player. I would expect a similar improvement over the laserdisc if I were to use a dedicated Meridian CD player.
Perhaps the Oppo is better than the Sony in this regard?
Funny you should raise this point Gianni,
I currently have a number of CD capable transports in the "big rig", a 598DP, an EAD T8000 LD/CD, a Toshiba HD-XA2, an Oppo BD83, and a Sony PS3. The venerable Enlightened Audio T8000, a digital audio optomized modded Pioneer laser disc player with a number of low jitter output options is the best of the lot for CD. -And by a non-trivial margin.
Happy Trails!
