Sony DVD recomendations..


Hi folks...

i'm looking for recomendations for a good Sony DVD player that will primarily be a transport for redbook and custom DVD-V discs w/24bit two track audio. picture quality is not really a big concern.
said deck would need to pass 24bit PCM signal out its s/pdif jacks.
My current source is a vinnie mod Toshiba 3960 that I use as a transport only (dampening and power supply mods). It works pretty ok, but its not the best transport in the world due to its build quality. I lean towards sony as I know they are good transports by reputation.
Looking to stay used and under $500.
thanks

I am very happy with a new experiment,maybe you too...buy a Panasonic S47 DVD player from Etronics.com for 100$,send it drop-shipped to EVS in Oregon for 300$ mods and hook it up to your favorite DAC,mine was a MSB Gold.Anyway it sounds real good,though my only comparison would be to another cheap trans running a Modwright modded MSB Gold Dac.Sure would like to compare to state of the art,but cannot,good luck,Bob
I've all ready got a cheap DVD transport w/dampening and PS mods...
I guess I"ll just stick w/it. It does everything I need. I just wanted something that isn't so flimsy.
Hopefully another member will pickup on this thread and enlighten us and the other 357 guys who are looking for a player under 500 thats not flimsy
I have Sony DVP-S500D and it has an excellent transport on it. The unit will run you between $50-$75 used.
