After a ton of research I just purchased the Cambridge Audio 540D DVD player. My old DVD player was a Toshiba SD3109 which served me well, but it was on it's last legs. The new Cambridge was a huge upgrade when playing CD music. I haven't seen much of a difference in video quality, but it plays both PAL and NTSC movies. It plays DVD-A which wasn't a big deal to me as I don't own any or plan to buy any in the future.Build quality was first rate and it looks really good to boot. I can't say enough about the player as a CD player, it sounds fantastic. I had pretty much given up on CD's and listened to vinyl 99.9% of the time.
