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? -Joe in SoFla Jrgboj M.

>* DVD-A & SACD playback
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. http://hometheater.about.com/cs/dvdl...pdvdasacda.htm 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 LASERandDVDfan |

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. "Jrgboj M.

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? -Joe in SoFla Jrgboj M. Gpkgbdfike Jr. |
