DVD upgrade

You may want to look at Toshiba stuff. They seem to be in game a while and their technology is right there... We have Toshiba, both in DVD and our wide screen TV. Great combo for us.

Swampwalker: I have never used or owned a DVD player but am curious as to what you are using for you CD digital front end. The reason is that some very favorable posts are starting to come out on the new Sony 9000 DVD/CD player that sells new for approx. $1100.00 at this time. Have you considered selling what you have for both DVD and CD and putting the money into an all in one player? That is granted that the 9000 model would be an upgrade for your CD player as well as your DVD. I ended up adding a DAC to my system because it was less expensive and less hassle (sell/buy) but do like the concept of fewer boxes and IC's. I realize that this may end up being more money depending on the resale value of what you now have, but is just an idea if you feel that the Sony may upgrade both sources. Also if you are not in a hurry, the units may end up on the resale market soon as other models come out.

David, interesting, because I have been thinking just the other way - more boxes. Why? This technology is changing so fast, my theory anyway, is that maybe I don't have to spend as much if I only have to upgrade one piece and not the whole enchilada when a new chip comes out for one component, or something like that.
Who knows? I guess it depends if the system is HT only or combined and weighing out all the options (resale price, IC's, rack space, etc) it's a wacky hobby, eh?
