Best DVD/CD Player to buy


I am looking to upgrade my cd transport. I also watch movies through my system with a stereo VCR. I'm thinking of buying a DVD player for movies, but want a decent cd playback. Can I get both in one? Any recommendations? I'm looking for something under 1500 if possible.

Thanks, Jeff

Stan Warren has been mocifying Pioneer 24/96 DVD players (for CD 2 channel playback) for his customers. After his modifications, they end up sounding as good as many $2000+ high end offerings. The fact that these players also play DVDs is icing on the cake! I think the total cost is under $700 for mods and all. I have a personal friend who is a reviewer for Stereophile Home Theater Review. He has 4 different $4000+ state of the art DVD players in his review studio, and none of them (unmodified) will hold a candle sonically (in two channel) to the above aformaentioned Stan Warren modified Pioneer.
