Which DVD player


I'm looking for a DVD player that will upconvert to 1080i, but which also has a nice 2 channel audio component. Some of the models that I've been thinking of:

Denon 3930
Marantz 9600
Rotel RDV-1092
Arcam DV137

Any thoughts?

Is Oppo well rated for 2-channel audio as well? Read the review of the Denon and it seems nicely priced for what you get.
Thanks for the advice. I am not interested in SACD anyways, so I would probably lean to the Rotel. I have a dealer nearby that sells both the Denon and the Rotel, so hopefully I can demo both.
I brought home the Rotel 1092 to compare with the Marantz 9600 and lo and behold, the HDMI out on the Rotel does not work! I'm quite surprised and disappointed. It is the demo unit at the dealer and he mentioned that they were having some trouble "playing some movies", but that worries me about Rotel's reliability overall.
