Using DVD Players to Play CD's

[Mark of Cenla]

For most of my music listening I use DVD players to play CD's. Do any of you do that too? Peace and goodwill.

I did in the past use a DVD player to play CDs over a short period of time, but now I use Blu-ray players to play them.

Many years ago I used DVD to play CD and then BluRay player.

My Oppo still going strong on my family room 5.1 set up, while not my primary 2 ch rig it works just fine.

For multi-disc CD's I use my Yamaha 5-disc carousel changer.

I've been doing that for so long I can't remember the last dedicated CD player I had.

Though, anymore I just rip the CD onto my computer and play it that way.

Did it for quite a while with a Sony DVD player when I lived in DFW. Upgraded to a NAD player in 2014 or so for the newer improved DAC. Still have the Sony to watch the occasional DVD these days. BTW, it sounded fine with CDs.

Oppo BDP-103D universal disc player used as a transport for audio in 5.1 system. Plays CD's, SACD's, DVD's, Blu-ray's, FLAC Files, etc. Anthem receiver used for DSP & DAC
.
Cyrus CDt transport used in headphone based system (very simple player, built like a tank). Plays CD's only. Digital coaxial to headphone amp/DAC.

I’ve used a DVD player to play CDs before too. It’s a simple way to enjoy music, and honestly, it works just fine if you’ve got one handy.

As you increase the data capacity of discs, you need to improve the accuracy of the laser system and the speed at which discs can be read. Thus any player is able to handle smaller capacity discs with ease. I've never seen a DVD or Blue-ray player that could not handle CDs. The only caveat is when you burn your own discs. Writable discs should be formatted for Red Book Audio for best compatibility.

Since most modern DVD and Blu-ray players do not have displays on the front, I bought a small video monitor so that I can see the track number while playing CD's. It was $40 on Amazon.com. Peace and goodwill.
