resistance is futile, eh?
Thanks for the input,
JMT I guess i was looking at the carosoul aspect of the player as being useful in terms of regular cd's, not dvd's--i can only take a single movie at a time too

I also agree that, ideally, i would prefer to have seperate cd-dvd players. The 3700 has the alpha 24 dsp which it uses to decode cd's and hdcd's, a component which is present in higher end denon cd players, also all reviews i can find on the 3700 praise it's audio prowess-here's one example

I was also going to argue how $ was another concern here, i.e., saving a little cash getting both players in one--but tides seems to have already answered that point!
Tides, i didn't realize how cheap dvd players have become--and you are right --audio is my primary concern-my source right now is a cd player fromm a kenwood rack system+RA-1+RS-1. The kenwood sounds about as good as my ancient sony portable, in fact on many cd's i prefer the sony! Ohhh if only i had never stumbled into headwizers! My new favorite expression is "just this one more thing. . . ."

I already feel myself being pulled to the 370, it's only $200. . . .
