  the pricetag is way out there though. I also think my FP already has a pretty darn good internal scaler/de-interlacer (I won't really know until I compare though).

  I would have been seriously tempted by the Esoteric except for it's lack of DVI output.

  OTOH, a high quality DVD player with good DACs might eliminate the need for DVI. I just don't know.

  I'm leaning towards a reasonably priced ("interim") DVD player with DVI/HDMI and good de-interlacer (Faroudja or Silicon-image based) with brightness/contrast controls I currently don't have with my FP's DVI connection. Later on, maybe I'll spend bucks on a player which includes excellent DACs for multichannel hi-rez and DD/DTS decoding.

    Of the players I mention only the Bel Canto has digital output, but there are plenty more...

    Sound is more important than image to me, and you will not get good sound from reasonably priced DVD players, even used only as transport, but depends on your priorities and system...
