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.

I listen to a lot of jazz, and vocal jazz to be exact. I also listen to quite a bit of hard rock (I know, odd for a Maggie owner). My limited classical listening is confined to mainly small orchestral works (Mozart, Hayden). Any suggestions based on that??

Actually, about 2 months ago I bought the Onkyo DS1000 after auditioning the Denon 3910 (ModWright Modded), Denon 5910, McCormack UDP-1, and Marantz DV9500. The 5910 was the best, but not 1200 better than the next two, which were the Marantz and Onkyo. The only reason that I choose the Onkyo is that it has an IEEE1394 connection that the Marantz did not have. Both great players. Thanks for the info.
