Best DVD for my System

I am looking for a DVD player to go with my system. I have the following equipment:

Krell HTS processor
Krell showcase 5
Revel C30
Revel M20 x4
Revel B15 x2
Audioquest diamond interconnects
Pioneer elite 61” rear projection

I was looking at the Sony DVP-S9000ES. I thought maybe I would have the transport mod by www.empiricalaudio.com . I am looking for a great DVD transport. What would you buy?

Hello,

Same question I have! Any advices appreciated!

I was thinking about the Denon DVD-3910 (~$1100 butterflyphoto.com?) but an audio expert todl me about the OPPO DV-970HD player. Now I am totally confused!

The basic questions for the experts are:

Is it worth it to consider the Denon 3910 or other more high prices player?

What is the TRUE DIFFERENCES in qualities and for the most part can we (non-expert, and in my case a newbie) honestly pick them out?

Are we simply pay a lot for brand names and illusion of prestige? :-)

Thanks folks!
