On an impulse, I picked up a Pioneer Elite model DV-47Ai universal SACD/DVD-Audio player yesterday in a trade for a Bryston preamp I was no longer using. I already have a DV-45A, but unlike most people around here, I think it is a bit of a disappointment. This is totally untrue of the DV-47Ai. I love it. While I found the sound quality of the DV-45A to be downright irritating, this one is very detailed and musical. The DV-45A was so nasty in the treble range I couldn't stand to listen to it, but the new one is sweet. Just my two (Canadian) cents. I am going to move the DV-45A into my office to play CDs, and sell my DV-563A ... if anyone is interested. It is in perfect shape, with very little use, and upgraded (by Pioneer) firmware. Any SW Ontario guys interested in a trade? Mike.
