Pioneer DV 45A...Less than $500. Enjoy it while you struggle with the problem of what to do with the extra 2 or 3 grand in your pocket.
well I settled on a philip dv963a. I looked at available software and didnt really see much dvda for the moment. I like sacd better and Thought well, I spend $400 now and wait a year to see all of these universal players get sorted out. Then I will buy a reference piece. The sacd portion of it is pretty good and the dvd video is great. So it should get me through the year. thanks for all the help
The Denon, which has yet to be released, looks really promising. DSD digital converters and 17 pounds to boot.
Can't wait to check one out.
Only the Teac Esoteric 50 MSRP at all interests me. I have not heard it, but many who have say it is extraordinary. I have a Lindemann and have ordered a Meitner, so I doubt that I will try it any time soon.
I thought about the DV-50 as well, but after several calls to TEAC I can't get a straight answer about future service and support. One time they say Esoteric is being reintroduced to the US market, then whien I ask who the dealers will be they call back and left a message saying there were no plans to sell them in the US. I love some of TEACs gear and the DV-50 looks like the best thing currently made, but I'm not going to spend $5K and not have a repairable transport.

I've got a Pioneer Elite DV-47Ai home for audition this weekend and so far I really like what I hear. It's not the DV-50 in terms of quality of build, but as Eldartford said, it's a good unit (similar to the one he recommended, but newer) for the $800 the dealer said it will be if I keep it and I can wait to shell out several K until the format wars settle out.
