Progressive DVD Changer + Good CD Sound?

Buy a Philips DVD 963sa and have it modified.

What's your budget?

What's in your system now?

Are you interested in two-channel or surround?

When you say "excellent CD sound," are you interested
in SACD and DVD-A? Either? Both? Or, just CD?

Do you have space limitations that necessitate having
CD and DVD in one box?

Thanks for the follow-up.

I have both budget and space limitations. I'd rather spend $1000 for a combo that will play DVD-V, DVD-A, and redbook CD than $800 on two stand-alone pieces if that makes sense.

It's likely going to be a 60/40 split with music coming out on top as the priority with this system.

I'm rebuilding a system from scratch. My last system was a B&K AVR 202, M&K S-125's, a Rega Planet, and a Sony non-prog DVD player.

I will likely end up with a 2-channel integrated (linn or meridian) and an external processer/amp combo if I can find a way to import the one I want into the States.

So far my research has led me to the Panasonic DVD-CP72 which apparently was discontinued, and is being replaced by a far less capable product. I'm curious about the NAD changers, but haven't been able to find reliable sources for reviews of their video abilities (for instance chroma bug issues) and the quality issue of recent products also raises some concern.

Who mod's the Philips DVD 963sa?

I just looked up the Philips DVD 963sa. It's a single disk machine. I'm not wanting a multi-region DVD player, I want a multi-disk (think carousel) changer.
