"what's wrong with having a dedicated player for audio (with no video) and a dedicated player for video (with HomeTheater audio)?"A lot is wrong, for instance having to have two machines, but more important, many people, me included, put sound well above image, and enjoy very much watching and listening to good concert DVDs, there are plenty, how would you do that with the two players ?
My Arcam FMJ DV27 sounds as good as very good CDPs, I compared it at home, and it has a very good image to match, also, if I want top video, I can do the SDI mod and get a good processor...

But there's nothing wrong with two players dedicated to what they do best.The best multi-format player will never match the best dedicated video or dedicated audio player. If you are happy with the Arcam, why are you complaining? You like the video -- wonderful. You like the audio -- wonderful. Enjoy it.
By the way, what concert DVDs are you listening to? The majority of them are encoded with a Dolby Digital soundtrack. I know you are not going to tell me that this " multi-channel MP3 " represents "high quality", right? Unless you are listening to some of the higher quality PCM concert DVDs (many opera and classical music DVDs), the audio capability of your Arcam is going to waste.

Is this a serious question?
> > > how would you do that with the two players ? < < <This is a perfectly valid question, dont be upset because you cannot answer it... ;)
I have plenty good classical and jazz DVDs, PCM (some 24bits), DTS (for instance Rabih Abou-Khalil), DTS 24/96 audio, even DD 5.1 with very good sound through a good DVD player, like mine...
Shame you cannot enjoy them with your great video crap sound players, as the good ones only plays CDs...
Now, who´s complaining...

For audio , you can have a High End CD player, transport/DAC combination, SACD player, SACD/DVD-A player or DVD-A player (whichever you prefer). For video , you can have what you think is the best DVD-V player with regards to the picture quality department. And even if your video preference is for a DVD player that doesn't have great analog output capability, you can always output the digital signal to an excellent receiver/processor for those concert DVDs.
B O O M !
It's now possible to put together an audio/video system with 2 dedicated players.
Or 3 or 4, CD, SACD, DVD-A, DVD, and dedicated sets of speakers too, why not, if you have the money and the room...

The system I set up for my wife has dedicated speakers for stereo (2-channel, Velodyne DF-661) and HT multi-channel (5.2, KLH HTiB with 2 subwoofers).It's not High End, but she could care less.
No problem with you having two specialized players, or whatever, just saying you can have it all with one system, wich is more convenient for most people, besides beeing able to use a better player for concert DVDs too, wich happen to be as important as CDs for me...
