Regarding headphone usage, from which headphone jack would I get better performance: my Marantz SR5009 AVR's headphone jack or the CD5004's headphone jack?

I would say your SR 5009 would have much more gain aka volume. The CD 5004 head phone out put is a bit limited, but works ok for most. My CD5004 still works like new and I have had it for 4 years now. good luck.

You can connect the analog outputs of the Marantz 5004 cd player directly into most headphone amps to drive appropriate cans. The headphone amp will have to have sufficient input impedance and a gain control and have sufficient output to drive the cans in question. For what it is worth, the headphone amp built into the Marantz will drive my Sennheiser HD 600s w/o problems but YMMV.

Have a listen to the Arcam amps. They are a good match. The Nad line is also a good fit. I am using two nuforce mono blocks and have no complaints. It's worth getting a quality DAC.

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read: http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008 I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

I often use a DAC and headphone amp for lossless and lossy files. The One has as good a DAC, at least for recording, way better than a lot of "portable" DACs out there. For critical listening, depending on your tastes and budget, you may still prefer an audiophile grade DAC.

I am not sure why you need to use the set up menu. Are there not separate inputs on the back for phono and CD? your phono preamp outputs should be connected to the CD inputs (or any other analog two channel input). You should only connect to the phono input on the AVR if you have a moving magnet cartridge and don't have a separate phono preamp.

I don't have Onkyo 7030 to compare with, but I believe 7030 could also be a good choose. CD-S300 builds with BB PCM1780 and 7030 has Wolfson DAC. Both use nice mid level DAC. One of the reason I picked CD-300 was the front side USB.

I would also agree the Sony STRDH130 2-channel receiver would be a good choice to use with the CD player you mentioned. I just recently purchased one and its absolutely fine to get the job done.

If you want higher/highest fidelity, LINE OUT is IT! I wouldn't use headphone out. Any audio nut should do that.

I have a Amperior but I don't have a Momentum&#65292;but a lot of headphones lovers say that the Amperior has a better quality than the other one&#65292;some say the Momentum has little bass and by the way actually the Amperior is a new vision of the very classic HD25&#65292;it has been producing for more than 20years already&#12290;I think you should go for Amperior though...if you wanna know more you can Email me at~58238323@QQ.com

No to both questions. A warning if you have'nt purchased this player. The cd player is crap--it stops playing intermittently with evey cd I try to play. A lesson to be learned here is that with cheap prices come cheap electronics.I would not recommend this product. Even the connections for the speaker wires when inserted into the radio/cd unit don't fit tight and have to be played with to get a solid connection. The am band in my area --Long Island N.Y. is bad and you can't turn the unit around in the hopes of getting a stronger signal because of the wires for the speakers and the placement of the unit if you do get a good signal---the tuning buttons and tuner knob may not be facing you it may be facing away from you. This is my experience with this purchase. Spend more money to hopefully to get a better product.

Hi there! I'm not a tech expert, but I don't think there's a difference. I re-listed it under the same listing that it was purchased for me. It was purchased for me as a gift, and I already had headphones. Sorry I can't help more

That depends on the media. Music through the audio-in jack was good while music from the MP3 disc was mixed. I ended up returning it since the mp3 capacity was not as claimed. My previous Sony (CFD-440) was exceptionally good.

I bet the Arcam doesn't sound ten times better (than the PAR21) and a couple of those reviews reveal some behavior I wouldn't tolerate on a high powered audio system. A quality audio cable will usually deliver the best sound but lacks the bluetooth convenience.

I have an Onkyo tuner and the yamaha cd player. Love them both. I tend to gravitate towards both these brands when buying stereo components through the years.

Either one. Just make sure you get the correct ones for your equipment (CD-R, CD+R, etc.).
