My Onkyo Integra DPC 8.5 is okay, for around 700 bucks. I pretty much won't listen to it (except for SACD, of course) without the Dodson DAC in the signal path. Huge, huge, huge, HUGE improvement with the Dodson (huge).
"...AND THE WINNER IS...?"
Hello, I'm looking to buy a multi format disc player. Under $1000.00, 'used' price. It needs to be slam dunk easy to configure with oSD at least. Intuitive operation. For DVD Audio and DVD movie useage, primarily, and with analog out puts... so it'll need a pretty good set of DACs too.
It can be also multi disc as well. The emphasis here for me would be on having great sonics over great picture, if indeed there is a choice in that regard. Using primarily for stereo applications, though multi channel is desired too. Getting out to audition different players is an issue for me. A good solid choice in this area would suffice.
So what say you multi format player owners? Marantz? Integra? Dennon? Who makes the better unit these days or in the recent past for under a grand? ($500 - $700, a bit more if it's really superior).
One caveat here, I DO NOT WISH TO BUY ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED AFTERWARDS... just to get good sound.
Many - many thanks.
