I want to pick up a new player in the next couple days.

I need it to perform well with both component and DVI/HDMI. The DVI/HDMI is for later when I get the projector up and running and the component is for now as I don’t have DVI/HDMI input for my TV or AVR.

I was reading through the reviews at Secret’s and am looking at the Panasonic S77, Panasonic S97 and Yamaha 2500. They all score over 90 and all seam to do well with component and DVI/HDMI.

I guess I’m just throwing this out there for general input on these players from folks who may have them and want to comment.

Both the Panasonics are around $250 while the Yamaha is going for $500 at U-bid right now.
