I don't really know what the best sounds like but I guess I just want it, as daft as that sounds!
The problem is, I think there is always better albeit at a price but as I get used to something the sound seems to loose it's impact and then I become disatisfied with what I have and start looking again.
Finance has an impact of course.

Choc hob nobs would be nice but 'll bring them with the 800, what else do you have?

It's all your fault! There I am as happy as a pig in s**t and then I start reading your posts and your answers to my questions which possibly shattered the illusion!
Joking apart, I have it connected to a G68D but have tried it direct with my DSP5500 and the rear DSP5000.
I think I was expecting the WOW factor a little bit more. The 800 for sure sounds better than the G91 on RBCD but how much better is the question I'm looking to answer.
Not really �5000 better!
I'm acutely aware that the 800 is a DVD player that plays CD, not a CD transport that does nothing else but.
In my mind I wonder how a multi machine can sound as good as a stand alone player.
I have in effect a �5000 CD player and a �5000 DVD player integrated into one machine so surely a �10000 CD player will be better than the 800?
I'm looking at changing my all DSP speakers to analogue to see if it's possible to improve. With vinyl the DSP's seem to take something out that is glaringly obvious so maybe they are to blame.
More in depth research and a lot of demo's may help me turn in the right direction.

Thanks for the advice.
