The CD player's running in right now, has been for about 18 hours or so, so when it's fully baked (is that a bad thing to say in connection with Onkyo stuff right now?) it should improve some more.Р”РЋ00 quid well spent, even if it's not going to wow the WHF afficianadoes.Completely off topic, but I don't want to create a separate thread just for this: I actually have the opposite problem with one hybrid SACD on my Oppo - it plays the SACD layer perfectly, but does not correctly play all the tracks of the CD layer (the last three or four tracks are unplayable - the CD simply 'stalls' at that point). Some bigger cones would probably have, pardon the pun, amplified the difference.

Not a night and day improvement, but I tell you what, the sound through the CD player's DAC rather than the receiver's, sounded a whole lot less like the band was playing uder a duvet. I hooked it up via a Chord ProDAC digital coaxial cable and Chord Chorus interconnects so I could compare the CD player's DAC with the receiver's. It isn't the interconnects or speaker cables, all Chord from dear old Blighty, that's for sure. I'm pretty sure the weak link in the chain is the speakers, which only have iddy-biddy 4-inch cones, failing that the receiver. Plugged in to the Onkyo TX-NR717 receiver and thence to the Klipsch Reference FR-42II speakers, I wasn't expecting miracles.

Nice, dull looking unit (which I like), and quite heavy for a CD player, all of which gives the impression, I did say impression, of a quality unit. At first I thought the right channel wasn't working, but sure enough one of the interconnects had pulled out of the receiver. Well, the Onkyo arrived yesterday afternoon, and wa splugged in as soon as I got home.

The Cyrus System I want (CD-XT-SE-whatever, DAC-XP-Plus-whatever, 2 x Mono-X200s and one of their streamers, plus a couple of ProAc Studio 140s, plus the interconnects and speaker cables) is likey to cost me close to thirteen large in Pounds, or 100 times what the CD player is going to cost, which itself is less than the cost of a decent pair of interconnects, so it really doesn't figure in my savings for the Cyrus setup.

This is a stop-gap solution, remember, and will ultimately end up in the front room where the wife can happily watch Oprah, Martha Stewart doing her 'Blue Peter' routines for bored hausfraus, and the ****ing Lifetime (all men are barstewards and should be castrated just as soon as their DNA has been extracted, screened for psychopathic tendencies, and used to produce the next generation of sperm - and paypacket - donors) TV channel, while I'm upstairs rocking out to the Cyrus system. Both sound muddy and muted as I have always found receiver or Bluray / DVD based audio to be.

Hence the output from the CD player should be clearer than the sound from either the Bluray DAC output fed analogue-mode into the receiver or the digital code from the Bluray fed into the receiver DAC. The CD player uses an allegedly superior Wolfson 8718 DAC to handle just two audio channels. Don't know which DAC is in the Bluray but that too must be designed to deal with up to 7.1 plus video. The receiver uses a Burr-Brown 192/24 DAC but only one, I think, to handle up to 7.1 audion channels plus, I'm guessing, video as well.
