I agree with Bar81. Check out the Oppo BDP-95. It's resolution, staging and presence are miles above anything in it's price range. Plus, it's a universal player that gives you tons of options. I bought it primarily as a two-channel audio playback system (with XLR out). And I'm floored with it. It's also well under 2K. I think they are around 1,100$ new. Just my opinion.
