hi-end universal players?

I'm getting the EMM Labs new transport + DCC2.

But that doesn't play DVD-A. I am not sure about the format so what is US$5000 and below player that is exceptional for DVD-A, to be hooked via analogue inter-connects to the DCC2 which also acts as a pre-amp?

Note given I am set w/ CD and SACD, I just need a player that does well on DVD-A, CD quality ain't an issue.

One of the Arcam players?

Has any actually heard the Primare DVD30 yet?

I remember that yet recent and most common advice was to leave CDP alone, and to stick to Philips 963sa for SACD until the universals improve in quality/price ratio. My try with Marantz 8400 confirmed it for me, as its CD quality caused me to return it back ASAP. I didn't look on Lexicon as many were saying that it too resembles the same Marantz.
Just curious if that rule is still correct?..

The Linn Unidisk 1.1 is a stunning piece sonically.

I'll second the Lexicon.
I am using Halcro's and Sound Lab A-1's and the Lexicon is definitely worth the askance.
Plus, Theaudiotweek, a long time friend came over today. He placed the Sistrum SP-1 under the Lexicon, and wow!!!!
I had never heard it before. I don't mean it was one of those, gee maybe it's better if you face west and squint. It WAS BETTER by such a margin as to be unbelieveable.
I imediately bought it.
The bass was about a full octave of articulation, better, staging, clarity, focus. Wow. If all upgrades were this easy, and this cheap!!!!
Kudo's to them!!
Some months ago, I spoke of my own Platform, home brew as being good. But I must say with all homage to Sistrum, they are in another world from other devices.
