Hey everyone. I am considering a new DVD player, and I was thinking about one of the new, all singing, all dancing, universal players on the market. Specifically, the three that have caught my eye are the new Denon 2900 (can get for $800), the Pioneer 47ai (can get for $700), and the new Marantz 8400 (can get for $1350).
Specifically, has anyone heard any of these players? Would any of these three provide better (or worse) performance on redbook and SACD than my Sony 222ES? Or should I just pick up a separate progressive scan DVD player like the Denon 1600 and keep the 222ES (which I am happy with) and live my life with $500 more in my pocket, and a cluttered rack? Unfortunately, my preamp only has one 5.1 input, so I cannot have separate multichannel SACD and DVD-A players.
Thanks all.
