I have the urge to upgrade my DVD/CD player, but the wife thinks I'm crazy. I currently have a Sony DVP-S500D single disk player. I bought it in 1998 (when people asked the question - What's a DVD?) and it has served well ever since. There is still nothing technically wrong with it, but I feel like I'm missing some newer features and maybe a slightly better picture.

My current player does not have DTS. Is this worth the upgrade alone? I see lots of messages that DTS is the awesome. Then again the thought of a new player scares me. I see lots of reports on "lemon" players right from the box and tons of design defects.

So the question is...Do I take the chance and upgrade? Would you? I need some peer pressure to help the decision process.

P.S. Music and home theater usage is about 50/50.
