good DVD/CDP combo ?


I'm currently running:
CAL CL15 CDP (about 5-700 used now)
Pioneer DVC-36 DVD, (about 150$ used now), was a new unit back in 01? maybe 02? has progressive scan and component video.

I'm wondering what I could get that could better them both in a single unit?

My associated video gear:
Infocus X1 projector
Denon receiver 1601 (old unit, but I'm not into HT much at all)

for audio I'm currently running
Plinius 8200 mkII (have a Rogue mag 66/88 on the side also)
Tyler ref Monitors (soon to be AP Virgo II's probably)
Transparent MusicLink Plus interconnects

Any recommendations?
My #1 concern is better audio resolution
I'm looking into this because I'd really like to reduce the # of boxes in the front of my room.
Thoughts?

The Camelot Roundtable is a good choice, especially at a used price if you're willing to go that route. I own one and the video quality is excellent. Given the player's primary focus actually seems to be audio (both upgrades that have been offered are solely audio based), it's sound is also top-notch. Nice enough that, after comparisons, I decided to settle on it as an all-in-one player. The player apparently uses some of the same DAC technology (Swiss Anagram) incorporated in the very expensive Audio Aero players. Be forewarned...it does NOT play CD-R's! The customer service is, however, excellent.

I've also been hearing good things about some of the upper end Denon players. There's a few folks that specialize in mods for these players as well that purport to raise them to 'world class' levels.
