Recommend a good DVD Player for McIntosh HT System

When you say "not expensive", I'm not sure what your budget is. I was looking at a Denon, but after reading all the reviews ended up with the Arcam DV79. If DVDA and HDMI are not a requirement, I'd check out the other Arcam players. They are consistently top rated-- must be for a reason.

The Denon 5910 is tops but expensive. Your best bet probably is a Panasonic s97 or s77. WE are right at the model changeover. There was a macro blocking issue originally with the s97, but current firmware has eliminated that over component and drastically reduced it over HDMI.
Oppos dont allow for any deinterlacing over component ( Oppo is a new brand) and the Pio 59avi is fine for non-challenging flags and cadences( ie well authored DVDs) but can be problematic with anime and foreign DVDs.

Thanks all -- Budget is flexible, not an issue, for the moment I'm thinking more of size, I'd prefer something on the smaller side that would get the most out of a Sharp Aquos flat screen without sacrificing quality for a smaller size. My equipment is stacking up, trying to keep things under control.

The Panasonics are low profile.

I also have a Sharp Aquos. What model do you have? Do you like it?
