Pioneer bdp 440 vs bdp 170 interms of analog stereo out

[santosh4]

Does any one know which has a better sound quality, is it BDP-440 or bdp-170 stereo out? I mean which has a good analog out for stereo play.

I have 440, planning to go for 170, 170 plays flac, but still I am worried about mp3 more than flac hence suggest me the option.

Hi,santhosh
I am not sure about BDP 440 but i am using BDP 170 and i should say the stereo out put from co axial or RCA is same as HDMI out put.
In BDP 170 there are options to configure the audio output in to stereo / LF RT / 5.1 based on the audio input you provide .
You can make a clear audio quality difference of playing FLAC vs MP3 on this .

BDP 440 uses AK4430, but I need to know about 170 so that I can upgrade.
