First, my setup consisting of M60 mains, HSU VTF-2 Mk2, and a NAD C320BEE integrated is mostly for music, but I do use it to watch the occasional movie just because it is a hell of a lot better than TV stereo. The sub is connected via pre-out/main-in, and I do not have any bass management yet.

My crappy DVD player is on the way out, so I am looking to get a new one. Wondering if I should go with a universal player like the Pioneer DV-578A (which fits my budget nicely), or a more traditional player around the same price range ($200 tops).

The only reason I am even considering a universal player is because I have one SACD that I received as a gift (NIN: The Downward Spiral), and I would also like to get Pink Floyd's DSOTM as well as The Who’s Tommy. Seeing as these are hybrid discs, and I have a basic 2 channel integrated amp, is it worth it to go universal? Will that even work for me?

Thanks for the help,
Jon.

P.S. M60's rock
