DVD/CD player

I do not know what HDMI is but I love my Muse model 9 sig. gen 3 for picture and sound DVD and CD. It trounced my Sony DVPS9000ES in all areas.

The ARCAM FMJ-27 has gotten very good reviews, and it has a MSRP of about $3k.

What is HDMI?

HDMI is High Definition Multimedia Interface.... basically it is DVI with audio as well, and the two are interconvertable with a simple adapter.

I would say you look into a Teac Esoteric DV-50s.... comes with DVI, is a reference standard CD player, and does amazing video as well as SACD/DVD-A.

I've seen them on A-gon for ~$3800 used, or you can get a DV-50 and pay Teac the $500 to add the DVI out and also upgrade the video to 14 bit...
