I personally like the Sony DVP-999ES better than just about anything I auditioned. An absolutely beautiful picture, excellent redbook CD performance, and SACD as good as just about any stand alone unit I've heard. It's also well built and comes with the three year warranty. I think Sony does the SACD thing as well as anyone, and picture reproduced by this deck is well documented. It's been out for about a year now so the price has probably come down a bit, but I paid $850 for mine a few months back.
DVD/CD/SACD player advice needed
I need your help choosing a DVD/CD player for my second system (Panasonic 42 PWD6UY plasma, Acoustic Energy Aegis 2, 1,CC, Outlaw 1050 reciever). The system will be used 90%/ 10% movies/music.So far I'm considering Philips DVD 963 SA (wouldn't mind to have SACD as well). Appreciate any suggestions. Regards.
