DVD-A/SACD two box solution what do you think?

You should also consider a Dan Wright Pioneer DV-47 with the Universal Truth modifications. It's an amazing performer, and it will play all current formats. You should be out less than $1500, even after buying a new player at a discount and paying for the mods. It will honestly compete with anything I've heard for less than $5,000. I received mine a few weeks ago, and I'm AMAZED by its' performance.

If audio is your prime concern, the Pioneer DV-45A has the same audio section as the 47 for less money, it plays
everything and can be Modwrighted or roll your own mods
as I plan to do.

Hey Kana can you roll me a mod ?

Anybody out there heard the Esoteric DV-50? It got a rave in a review online in "Soundstage", and I believe it is scheduled to be reviewed in the August "Stereophile". It is half the price of the Linn Unidisk ($11,000.00), and might be just as good or better than the Linn.

I have caught wind that the unit is really good, and really a blast to have and use. Its adds dimension and flexibility to any system especially one that has a good foundation, meaning amp, speaker, cables, line conditioning etc. Seems like just the ticket. Leave it up to Teac a very old company to produce a product in a timely fashion when high ends guys are need for the newer technology but are hestitant to throw big money at a ever changing forum that wreaks constant change. The Esoteric seems to offer so many commom platforms that the higher powers probably won't beable to change them all to extinction at one time, making this piece a keeper in my eyes.
