Alan,

I'm also interested in this topic. For the CD / DVD players in the range of 300 bucks, is there any noticeable difference can be hear in Tim's system or so ?

Is there any key specification we need to check when we select the DVD players, like twin laser pickup, 192Khz, HDCD or Signal/Noise ratio ? Or it needs to be judged on individual brand/model ?

A little bit difference from Tim, I will consider this player more for stereo but not DVD (or just play DVD on the stereo system for the moment). My HT will not be built in near future.

Thanks.
