How good are Blu-ray and DVD players at playing music CDs?
Blu-ray and DVD players make excellent CD players, and current models can also play audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs and MP3 CD-R/RWs you record yourself with a CD recording deck or computer CD-R/RW drive. Some players can also play high-resolution audio, like SACD, DVD-Audio, or both. A Blu-ray or DVD player’s advanced disc transport and digital-to-analog converters are designed for the demanding task of reading and processing the huge amounts of audio and video information on Blu-rays and DVDs. By comparison, playing a music CD is a piece of cake. Based on our experience, these players sound at least as good as a typical CD player.
