Universal DVD Player


Hi all!

I am looking for a new universal DVD player. I want to buy a DVD player that can handle SACD and DVD Audio. I also want the best quality picture and I have heard of 1080p but not sure what that means.

If I buy a DVD player that can handle the 1080p picture quality, do I need to have a TV that has 1080p capability as well? I believe my TV has the 1080p and it also has HDMI connection.

What some reasonable price universal DVD players out there that can do what I want?

Thanks for any advice!!!

My Denon 5900 plays DVD's SACD, and DVD-A's very well but not Blu Ray. Its up for sale now on Audiogon.
Denon starts at 369.00 new for a 1940ci all the way up to 3800.oo for a 5910ci which I own and love. If you want blu-ray they have a unit to be released later this year for 4500.00. But the 1080p that the 5910ci produces has kept me happy enough to not invest in blu-ray yet. Also look at Marantz.
Yes, too take advantage of 1080p, your tv needs to be 1080p capable. I also recommend the Oppo BDP-83.
Would a Blu Ray player picture quality look good on a DLP projection TV. I have a Samsung 50 inch DLP projection TV. It has HDMI connection but it does not do 1080p. It will do 1080i and I am not sure if I need to buy a player now with 1080p since my TV can only handle 1080i.

Anyone out there have a blu ray player and use it on a DLP projection TV? If yes, does it even look good? Or should I stick with a regular universal DVD player for now and upgrade to a Plasma TV later with blu ray player that has 1080p?
