Looking for a quality CD/DVD player under 1K

Buy a new Philips SACD 1000 off someone in the Audiogon classifieds for @ $500.00. It's a great cdp for redbook, a DVD player PLUS you get multi-channel SACD playback. It's a tank and a bargain.

I would bet the Sony 9000 ES would beat the Phillips machine. Just a guess, I wouldn't be afraid to compare the two. You can get the Sony usually around 650 bucks.

You might want to check out the pioneer elite 47ai that does DVD-A, SACD, with great video quality. It's a universal player with good sound and excellent video. I'm happy with mine.
