DVD player suggestions sought...

Hey all,

I'm looking to upgrade my DVD player and I'd like to find one that has teh
following features:

* 720p/1080i upconversion (upconversion is NOT available through the component
outputs, right?)
* 3:2 pulldown
* DVD-A & SACD playback (with either analog outputs or the capability to pass
through the signal digitally, although the last time I checked only Meridian
did that)

Thoughts?

Well, at least two brands, Sony and Panasonic, are out of the list. Sony will
support only SACD while Panasonic will support only DVD-Audio.

This hyperlink may provide a few suggestions. For brands, your picks would be
Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha, and Denon. An Integra model is also included, but is
an upscale Onkyo unit. Not so sure about the Marantz recommendation, however.
In all honesty, it may be a better bet to stick with Japanese brands of DVD
players. - Reinhart

JVC All Region players. Got 2 of them and love 'em!

Toshiba has a 5 disc player that does DVD-A and SACD, you won't find any
units that output these through digital, not enough bandwidth.

As far as the upconversion on this player, I have no idea. Might want to
check it out, model number is SD6915 I think.

As an aside, I'd like the DVD player's upconversion to be handled by (ideally)
the component outputs or (more realistically) a DVI output.

Suggestions?
