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?

In answer to your post on my thread I know you want the signature version as it is supposed to be much better than non sig. I know gen 4 will play CDR CD and mine (gen 3) will not.

That is the extent of my limited knowledge, I was lucky enough to find someone on Agon that was selling my Muse 3 blocks away so I auditioned it first and the rest is history.
I recently bought a Muse model nine signature generaton three (WHEW) DVD/CD player and it easily bettered my Sony DVP9000ES in both picture and (especially) sound quality which is apsolutely terrific on both CD and DVD. I compared mine to a Electrocompaniet CDP 1UP and though I preferred the Electro it was not by much which is pretty amazing IMO. This is a super refined player that lists for $4000, was made in 2000 and I bought here on Agon for $1350. Read the threads you may end up with one.

I did not know a price range but hope this helps...
