One more note on the inexpensive DVD/CD/SACD/DVD-A front: On another thread Spiffnme recommended the Pioneer DV563A, which plays all these formats and retails for about $150 at etronics (I know nothing about etronics, but they seem to reflect base street prices):

It's a one-disc player, not the 5-disc changer that the Panasonic is. I don't know about its outputs -- don't know it from Adam, in fact, but Spiffnme always seems to know what he's talking about. Perhaps worth a look. I'm sure the Denon Universal is the best, but it does cost about $1000.
