I've just hooked up my new M60's,EP150,QS8's and EP175. They all sound fantastic but now I need a great DVD player that will also do DVD Audio and I'd like to limit my purchase to under $500. I've been looking at the Denon DVD-1600 and it seems that it will fill the bill nicely but I also see a "new" model, the DVD-1200 which has a few more features but there doesn't seem to be any real reviews. PLEASE HELP a DVD newbie if you can advise me! PS, While I've been looking at the Denon line, I'm not limiting myself to that brand only.
