Recently  I sold my CD player.   In a few months I will be in the
market for a new CD player.   I was also thinking about maybe getting
a CD/LD player.  Namely the Pioneer CLD-M401 5 disc CD/LD player.
Someone I work with said that the CD quality from a LD player isn't 
as good as the sound quality from a "just a CD player".
Is this true?

The CLD-D501 has twin 1 bit D/A converters but only plays one CD, whereas
the CLD-M401 says it has 1 bit Direct Linear Conversion with high-speed and
high-density pulseflow D/A converter.  Is there a big difference here?

Thanks in advance, 
DM
