FYI..Cambridge Audio also makes a DVD player. Has upgraded picture as well as sound, over a cheap DVD player. It has some computer type features I believe as well. It lists for $399. Demos are available quite often at Audio Advisor for $300.
There is a good overview at the Spearit Sound website.

I personally have an inexpensive Burr Brown DAC chip based Pioneer DVD player with audio modifications by Stan Warren. With Stan's mods it compares with a $1500 to $2000 audio CD player in my opinion. It only falls short of a over $2000+ CD player in the quality of the bass.
(I have done comparisons.)
Total cost was about $450 new.
