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RCA interconnects from Pre to amp, Quattro and QLS9 for my mpc active sheilding.I feel that the Sony being so old & outdated that it may be a weak link in my system.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

Bacardi,

Don't just take my word that the Onkyo/Integra players have stellar performance, look at these reviews:

Bacardi-
I misunderstood your post. I thought you were wanting to upgrade your AVR, not your player. I love (and own) Denon Universal players (DVD 5900).

I would recommend you look into the Oppo BDP 83. There are a ton of reviews on the web. I am surprised that no one has mentioned this yet. Its probably the best DVD player (superb upconversion) for the price. Yet, it is also a bluray/SACD/DVD-A player. It does bitstream DTS-MA and Dolby Ditital HD via HDMI, all for $499 brand new direct. I currently have the unit hooked up to my Onkyo PR SC886 and it is a great match.

Good luck,

Kenobi

Thx Kenobi....I appreciate the recommendation. I will research the Oppo BDP 83......I was hoping to pick up a Pioneer BDP 09 used online. What do you think of that player??
