In Reply to: DVD-A comparisons? Tosh SD6915 vs Samsung HD841 vs Pioneer 758 posted by theaudiohiffle on November 4, 2004 at 19:03:10:
I tried the Toshiba 6915, Pioneer 563 and Samsung 841. The 841 locked up on me shortly after I started playing with it so I didn't get to do extensive testing. I was comparing these to my year-old Panasonic changer.I was disappointed with the Toshiba. The transport was sloooow. The high-end was not very crisp. (Cymbals on Steely Dan sounded a little mushy.) It was my first SACD player and none of the SACDs I tried impressed me. (Keb Mo, Pink Floyd, Billy Joel)
The Samsung seemed a little better sound-wise but I had less than an hour with it when it locked up and the tray wouldn’t open so I didn't get to do a lot of testing.
I also tried a Pioneer 563 and it sounded better to my ears than either of the other two, but it was no better than my Panny and it wouldn't play a couple of my DVD-As at all (Elton John for one.)
All of these went back and I ended up spending $400 on a refurb Onkyo 802 universal changer. I've had it for about a week and so far I like it a lot. (At more than double the price of the others, I should.)
