I want an enthusiast-level DVD/CD (SACD/DVDA not important to me) player for under $500.
I want a player that's:
1.) Has a
dual-layer change buffer (so I won't see pauses in the picture)2.) Plays quiet
3.) Reliable
4.) Plays CDs very well.
5.) Dynamic sound
6.) DVD +RW compatable
I'm willing to pay over $1k but I think it has to be extremely compelling for me to jump to this levels as the law of returns diminishes substantially.
Any advice would be appreciated....
BTW: Do you guys know if my Philips SACD 1000 with transport issues is sellable. If so, how much woul be your guess? (I know that upgrades can turn this thing into a monster). If any of you are interested in looking into buying mine for a fair price, please PM me.
