I'm working on my home theater setup after couple of
years I was only into two channel music (tubes)...I have a panasonic ptl-701e (1024x768 native) LCD projector,
passive 6 channel preamp, a EAD powermaster 5 channel amplifier
and five mini-monitors... (I'll throw in a subwoofer later)So I need a progressive output DVD
with the best sounding internal DACs and dolby decoder I can find...I had the toshiba 9200 and denon 2800 in mind but people here said
they have the chroma bug and that the SAGE chipset is much better,
and I didn't see any posts on the sound of these units..Any recommendation ?
Follow Ups:
I currently own a SD 9200, I've never had any problems with the chroma bug and the sound quality is very good. If you want the best DACs out there though. Get the Arcam DV27 the picture quality is stunning and the cd playback is better than most cd only player out there.
One sleeper is the Philips Q50. Do a search on the net for more info. There were a few software problems with early release players but they seem to have been sorted out now. Reports suggest the Q50 is far better than players costing 4X as much.I suggest you do a seach on the AVS forum for more info on those players you cited.

I don't think that the "perfect" DVD player exists. You sort of have to decide which is most important to you, sound quality or picture quality.
The chroma bug seems to be a very personal issue with some people far more sensitive to it than others.
The SD9200 was a Stereophile recommended component, so for audio quality it is a good choice.
Depending on your budget, you might want to look at the new (yet to be released) Denon DVD3800 and DVD9000. The specs look good but no one has had a chance to try them out yet. The 2800 really isn't in the same league.
