DVD player upgrade......

I recently have a Sony DVP-777ES 400 disc changer for my 5.1 home theater and have not yet upgraded to 1080P. Would say a Denon 3930CI or 5910CI be the best upgrade for the money???? I am running an Onkyo Pro SC-885 pre processor, Parasound HCA 2205A power amp(220x5), full Paradigm Signature S1's, C1, ADP's all in piano black, a SVS PB-13Ultra subwoofer(piano black). I am running all Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerator bi-wired speaker wire, 3-T2's, T3, Precision AC, and Precision Reference RCA interconnects from Pre to amp, Quattro and QLS9 for my mpc active sheilding.I feel that the Sony being so old & outdated that it may be a weak link in my system. I am looking for more depth, dynamics, detail & soundstage to my movies. I am a 65% movie buff and 35% music. Any help would be appreciated!!!! THX

Onkyo DV-SP1000 or Integra DPS-10.5. Both are built like tanks(26.7 lbs) and have very high quality DACS(audio and video) resulting in incredible sound and video. $2000.00 player on used market for $275.00 to $450.00. Videogon has a couple for sale right now.

There are currently three Onkyo's and one Integra for sale on the bay right now.

I bought mine off the bay a few weeks ago and could not be more pleased.

Here are some pictures of my Onkyo from the Klipsch forum.

I had always been a Denon fan. I bought the CI series and hated the UI. Returned it and got an Onkyo 905 and could not be happier! The price was right too.

Willland....the problem with the Integra's is they have no remote. Do you think that would be a problem to set up all the settings without it? I do have the Onkyo Pro SC-885 pre pro with a learning remote to put codes in but it might not have all the buttons......I did notice the specs on the denon 3930CI to be comparable to both Onkyo/Integra units for a little more money used. The Denon has better spec'd DAC's and processing chip. What would you suggest to me???
