Looking for killer DVD/CD player for 2 channel

It's time to bite the bullet and buy a multi-format cd/dvd video/audio player for my 2 channel theater.

What should I be looking at.

Current audio setup:
BAT S300X
Talon Khorus X.

Next equipment Maybe Von Schweikert VR4SR
Maybe higher watt amp/pre-amp

Open to ideas. Not interested in flashy, bright sound.
Criteria is natural, real, fast and lively.

The Esoteric DV 50 is a pretty good choice. There are others, but this is a good match with a BAT front end. Also hits your sound criteria...

Bluebull, the Esoteric has fully balanced outs for 2 channel. The 2 channel output board is much much better the the 5.1 outputs and the xlr outs do sound better than the rca's.

Dear Lakefrontroad:
I own an Arcam 27A which I bought used on the 'Gon.
It's a cd, dvd video AND dvd audio.
It's awesome.
Check out the reviews posted on the internet.
