Recom. for a new CD/DVD?

I too was seeking an all-in-one solution that would give me the best of both CD and DVD and found that the Camelot Roundtable player was the best solution available at a relatively reasonable price. As far as I am concerned (and many others) it is the best sub-$10,000 DVD player available and offers an excellent audio section based largely on the acclaimed Uther DAC. It is a bit expensive, but worth every penny for the quality and versatility if you ask me. It is available in both the Mark I version, with 24/96 upsampling and the Mark II with improved 24/192 upsampling. Both sound and look great. Good luck with your hunt for a new player.

I'd go for the Muse Model 9 Signature with Progressive Scan output option. For some reason, Muse just doesn't hold it's resale value, so buying it used you should be able to get a good price (around $2K?). It's an awesome player for both music and movies. I own one, so I'm experienced with it and biased about it, and share your same goal - a one-box solution to both problems while getting great performance.

I was also thinking of doing a mod to the Sony DVP9000es?
But, which one? Is it worth the cost or just invest in another player? Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks

Just purchased the Philips DVD963SA with 192/24 CD oversampling and SACD. $ 430 home delivered. Sounds better than the Meridian 500/566 24bit DAC purchased @ $ 3000 that is replacing. After serious comparison testing, disconnected and switched off the Meridian. As far as I am concerned Sony and Philips supply equipment at reasonable price that sounds a lot better than the over priced "high-end" "high-price" brands. The Philips now drives Mark Levinson and Martin Logan.
