Recom. for a new CD/DVD?


I currently have a Sony DVP9000es and I am thinking og getting a new CD/DVD player. I only have the room for one so I need a great player that does both. I was thinking of possibly the Classe dvd1 or the Cary D3. I am currently using the Classe CA-151 amp and Classe ssp-25 pre/processor and B&W N804 with Purist audio colossus cables and Custom power cord power block and power cables.
Thanks

"The Philips now drives Mark Levinson and Martin Logan."

Let's hear more...
Well not much to say. CD comparison to the Meridian combo is extended low frequencies, the high end has lost a bit of harshness and is more "sweet". With sweet do not mean coloration or a sound that is more pleasent to my hears. It is closer to live performance. I could not notice much difference in the mid-band. Presentation, field depth, localization of instruments and voices are more present, i.e brought a bit forward adding more sense of live performance. Resolution is enhanced, with instrument details available where could not hear before. I have no comparison with other SACDs so cannot say much, I compared Bocelli CD with SACD, no drammatic differences but a sense of musicality not present in the CD and of course more extended low and high and minute details not audible in the CD. However you need to have a top notch system to dig out the advantages of SACD reproduction. It must be said that the mastering is probably not specifically done for SACD so there is probably some tuning at recording level that will allow a better differential between the two standards. I have only had the Philips for two days now and the sound is still changing a bit.
Should you have specific questions, ask will try to answer the best I can

Daniel, thank you for posting your thoughts on the Philips player. Does the player have PCM coax output for use with an external dac? The philips website isn't clear on this. Thanks.
I have the Sony 9000ES and love it. I understand that the new Sony 999ES is slightly superior with CD, DVD, and SACD, and costs less as well.

Yes it has PCM coax and fiber output. The set up software allows selection of 96Khz and 48Khz as output and can have a selection between PCM only or "All".

I am extremelly impressed with its performance, now that it has had some running-in, in absolute terms, if you consider that the price tag is around $400 you ask yourself a lot of question on how you have been spending your money and how much vapor-ware you were getting. I think it did switch the light on for me, can see a lot better now
