Thanks for your replies everybody. I think after reading them, I won't be purchasing a new CD player.
However, I am now curious about a DVD player upgrade. I currently have a Toshiba SD2800 (192kHz/24) that I purchased a few years ago. Could an upgrade yield any noticeable differences regarding video quality (features aside)?
I know the SD2800 isn't a progressive scan player and my RPTV is not an HDTV anyway (if I researched correcty, only an HDTV format would take advantage of progressive scan technology). Really the only thing that bothers me about my current player is when it changes layers...it noticeably skips. I have heard that higher dollar DVD's change layers more quickly and won't have that noticeable skip. However, I am more interested in video quality.
Personally, I would not upgrade to a new DVD player if remedying the layer skip issue was the sole benefit.
