|   Audio And Video DAC In DVD Players | Bob Smith
Nov 28, 2001 2:16 PM | | In Australia, currently considering two DVD players. One is Toshiba SD-1300 single disk player. Other is Sony DVPNC600 5 disc player.
The Sony has a 54MHZ/10-bit video DAC, while the Toshiba has a 27MHZ/10-bit video DAC.
But the Sony has a 96KHZ/24-bit audio DAC, while the Toshiba has a 192KHZ/24-bit audio DAC.
I am interested to how these different specs effect sound or image. I have Yamaha RXV-620 amp.
Both can play CD-R/CD-RW. Only the Toshiba can play MP3, would I ever use this?
Are multi-disc DVD players more troublesome due to extra mechanics? |

Currently do not have a CD player at all and wish to use DVD player for both CD and DVD. |

Although you're likely to get a response from somebody telling you that one or the other of these DACs make a big difference in performance, my opinion is that they're pretty much irrelevant.
Pick out whatever player reaches out and grabs you - without giving any undue consideration to the marketing hype that accompany them.
Hope this helps you

For audio CD's, you could connect the analogue L/R outputs to your CD input on the receiver - then if you select "CD" on the receiver you will be hearing the DVD's audio DAC's. |
