In Reply to: Are you willing to sacrifice sound quality just to get video? posted by Christine Tham on October 21, 2005 at 15:18:29:
With sublime DVD players in the under $1000 range, and full featured ones with HDMI, upscaling etc. for as little as $200, it seems silly to compromise your audio to add video. Add to this that DVD-A is pretty much dead (and being supplanted by hi-res DVD-V audio streams), it seems like a foolish investment to go for a universal player if you already have a superb CD/SACD player such as the 777es. If you must go for the one box, I would second the recommendation for the Marantz 9500.
