Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?


I am looking for a universal player to match my Von Schweikert vr4 jr's and Cary cinema 5 amp. I am using a complete Von Schweikert system with 2 subs. I heard the onkyo was excellent. Any opinions or other suggestions?

I own the Onkyo and I think it's a great universal player. However, you should know that in a recent German comparison the top Denon unit came in above the Onkyo, including due to a lower jitter measurement on CD (200 vs 300 ps). Of course jitter on its own is not everything, and the remaining measurements provided were not that useful. BTW the Onkyo's 300 ps figure is a lot lower than what Stereophile measured on the Esoteric DV-50. The Denon BTW was about $2000 more expensive than the Onkyo.

For the price the Onkyo is a complete no-brainer.
