Hope that your HD841 works out for you. I was looking a few months back at different players for video upconversion, and after the slew of bad reviews on the HD841, I went with the well rated Panasonic S97. It doesn't do SACD, so it isn't a true universal player like you have, but for DVD playback, it can't be beat for the price.
Now, mind you, I am a movie guy, and I have no SACD or DVD-A stuff to play, so they weren't a factor for me. If they were important to me, then the S97 would have fallen short.
I just wish that someone could come out with something that did it all very well, was durable, had a 3 year waranty, and cost $50... I guess I'm just dreaming...
Just wait until Blu-Ray and HD-DVD get going. Then we will need another level of universal player that does not only the audio formats but all of the video formats as well. Yikes!
