I'm assuming you have an HDTV Wega that can display PS.

If music is important to you, you're probably going to need an external DAC, as the ones in the players and receivers are generally pretty poor...at least by audiophile standards. Even a little ART Di/O can improve them a lot.

That said, the PS Denons have a bit better sound than average. Some of the Pioneer Elites, as well. Beware buying cheap used DVD players.
