If you can find the Nintaus ... even better. I believe they are the OEM manufacturers for Panasonic. You should see some of their models...it is exactly like some of the Panny models. A lot of Panny's line has excellent DACs for audio and video. But the Nintaus is not as good on grey market Asia "kareaoke" and "movie" DVDs & CDs. Asia market is mostly copied DVDs or CDs. The Malata handled those platter better. One more thing. When you do buy those players make sure you get the guy to load up the menu and check to see if all the functions you need are on there..ie equalizer. A lot of these machines are upgradeable firmware/software. But is a pain to do. When you buy from the asia market retailers there is ususally no refund or support. If you are really are set on a equalizer look for the wireless mics that have the wireless transmitters with a EQ. I had wired mics and pretty much gave em away because it was never used until we went wireless.
