Pretty cool.
polaris:
regarding what it says about the other consoles, a mate told me that dvd laser was much higher quality than cd, that at least would have an improving effect ,if the other components were comporable to the ps1 as opposed to being cheaper/not so good then its possible the audio is better again.
boykster:
Interesting.....not that suprising. There are tons of examples of consumer grade equipment out-performing high-end / high dollar components. It is a bit suprising that the PS1 (that specific model) would be one of them, but that's how it works sometimes.
There's a huge thread over at avsforum about a panasonic HTIB dvd/receiver combination component that has an amazing digital amp section....the box cost $300 or so, and people with $5000-20,000 component pre/pro + seperate amp section systems were trading them for this "low end" digital amp....pretty amazing.

100% ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. There are a certain class of audiophiles with an unlimited amount of money and time, and they can convince themselves of anything. The same people that would spend $2000 on chemically balanced wooden volume knobs or a 3 foot audio cable will also believe that a console with off the shelf audio parts is performing some sort of audio magic. The sites that cater to these idiots also tout the fact that they don't support double blind testing, i.e. they ignore the very thing that could prove they're completely full of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
