I can second the Denon 1600, I have one and love it. It also has nice Burr Brown audio DAC's to help with your audio question. Can't comment on the 5000. I had the 3000, and the picture quality wasn't even in the same league as the 1600 when displaying 480p. If your TV can handle progressive output or you are upgrading soon, my suggestion is to go with a progressive DVD player.
Is a Denon DVD-5000 worth buying ?
I have a chance to purchase this top-end in '99 player for under $400. I noticed there are a couple on A'gon that are not moving ( they are more expensive ). I'm just wondering if a top of the line unit in 1999 is really that obsolete to not warrant a reasonable resale price. I suspect the lack of progressive scan is turning off perspective buyers but wouldn't a high quality non-progressive put out a better picture than a cheap progressive ?
Comments on this units ability as a CD player also appreciated.
thanks everyone.
