DVD CD player versus CD Autochanger
quality-wise how does the CD playback of the 05 command DVD player compare with the cd autochanger? (in a new SLK as it happens)
i ask because i'm aware that in home systems dvd's are plainly inferior to dedicated CD players at playing music, and i suspect i'll be playing a lot more music than watching DVD's!

eg who builds the unit (its probably bought in from the far east....)

192K encoded MP3s didn't exhibit the "harshness" that I normally hear from an MP3 file.
To give you a perspective on my preferences, I generally prefer vinyl records and compact cassette tapes to CDs for sound quality, since I believe good quality tapes using good equipment have superior capabilities to CD. Of course the CD wins when it comes to convenience.

Also, I wasn't mentioning US-spec. At this time, I have no idea of the capabilities of the 2005 R171 and W211 for the US market. My R171 experience is limited to European-spec models. (The R171 and W211 head units are nearly identical, the difference being the physical form of the faceplate; the CD changers are the same.)
Sorry about that!
