That link shows it as $0.00! At that price, it can't be beat.

How about Pioneer 563 ($170) universal player for audio only? I have heard good reviews about it. For video, I just ordered a Samsung 931 from Buy.com ($230). The setup is a killer for the money, but I am a little unsure about the Pioneer 563.

Craig, you continue to imply that the presence of DVD capability somehow compromises the sound quality of a player when playing CDs. As I've pointed out previously, this is yet another audio myth that has no basis in fact, regardless of how many report hearing clear differences. Players can have dual lasers which are optimum for both discs, operating at a 780nm wavelength for CDs and 650nm for DVDs. Get the CD player you want and if it also happens to play DVDs it won't affect CD play in the least.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

It's not so much that, as I'll be buying a dvd player again soon (soon-ish), and don't see the point of buying one now.
If there's a universal player that sounds as good as that Marantz, or some other SACD player, let me know.
Price range < $1000

What is wrong woth the Denon 2900?
It has exceptional redbook CD sound and incredible DVD-A and SACD sound.
It also has great picture quality.
It runs for about $775 online and now come in a silver version to match your Rotel gear. Here is a link:

This player has incredible sound and picture beat only by Denon's 5900 player, which is out of your price range.

The silver 2900 has definately been a thought.

Thanks for the tip on that one, but it can't play multi-channel music.
Anyone know about the new Pioneer? It's supposed to compete with the Denon's. It hasn't generated the buzz that the 2900 or 5900 has.
Hmmm...If Pioneer could make a really kick butt player that would be great. You can usually find Pioneer gear at stupidly discounted prices.
