I'm a fan of the Sony SCD-XA5400ES. It compares very favourably with my extensively modified (Ric Schultz - EVS) Sony XA777ES and the 5400 sports balanced outputs, though I don't think that is of interest to you. $1500.
I'd like to hear a comparison to the Oppo, even the SE version that's coming out on Monday. If the Oppo can match the 5400 it's going to be a great buy, especially with DVD-A and BluRay. I wouldn't mind buying one and letting Ric work his magic.
