I am looking for a good universal player to feed my x-can v2 and my grado gs 1000,so i would like to know what you guys think about the Yamaha dvd-s2700 or if you have any other suggestions?

That Yamaha looks pretty good, I haven't done any research on the more expensive universal players in a while. The cheapest one I know of is the Oppo, not nearly as classy looking.

I do know that Denon has a similarly priced universal player (2930). Most reviews deal with mainly video quality, I'd bet that the audio quality between the under $1,000 players is pretty close. I think for me, in this case, it would come down to features, looks and build quality track record.

Good luck.

Thanks,by the way, i read somewhere that the 2700 has duel laser pickups oddly enough Yamaha dosen't mention it in their advertising.

I have the Yamaha DVD-S1500, and it's the best player I've owned. Yamaha, unlike most manufacturer's in this price reange, really do pay attention to the quality of the audio output. I'd love to get a DVD-S2700 from my experiance with my current player. Happy Listening!!
