Universal disc player

I am looking for a universal disc player in the under $2000 range. My preference list so far consists of the Marantz DV9500, Onkyo DV 1000, Denon DVD 3910 or the McCormack UDP-1. I am leaning towards the Denon because of the ease of upgrade mods that are available for future tweaking. Could I get some opinions? I really want video upscaling, fantastic Red Book and DVA-A, SACD playback. Which is the best of all worlds?? Thanks for any help.

Hey Iwasgoingto,

There's nothing wrong with converting from DSD to PCM. Some of the best players in the world do it, and some of the best digital engineers in the world agree that DSD is inherently noisy unless you use a lot of sound-damaging filtering. PCM is quieter, with a lower noise floor and DSD to PCM conversion is the preferred method for many discriminating manufacturers and their customers.
