Title: Playstation 3 as CD player
Post by: ♡ lvcdg23™ ✌ on Apr 05, 2012 at 10:34 AM: I've been using my PS3 slim as a cd player for quite some time now. Connected it through HDMI to my Denon AVR.

Anyone tried comparing its SQ to a dedicated cd player like from Marantz, NAD, CA, etc?

How's does it fair?

Appreciate all your inputs :)

Thanks!!!

If you're not gonna do any processing, the CD player may do better IF the sonic signature works for your system.

Right now i'm using my AVR to play lossless files via uPnP being shared by my laptop, so far it's the best for me. Though i'm still looking for a dedicated audio streamer..

Eto pangarap ko for my Lossless Files and MP3's
