Hi, I am looking for an excellent one box 2 channel DVD/CD player. I am not interested in paying for multi-channel circuitry that I will never use. I am also not very interested in SACD or DVD-A, but may consider it. The Esoteric DV-50 is getting great reviews, I wish they would make a 2 channel version of it for the US market.Any recommendations are appreciated.

I have 27 years experience selling,installing,designing A/V & home theater systems -- I have personally had a dozen of the "better" DVD's in the past 5 years - Right now I have THREE .A Denon DV-5900,ONKYO DV-SP1000 and a Marantz DV8400. Unlike a lot of the audiophiles I have to be honest in saying that they are ALL VERY good. I think in terms of music the Onkyo (believe it or not ) is the best but ALL AROUND performance, value and quality has to go to the Marantz. F.Y.I, the Denon has been back to the repair shop TWICE in 4 months and it is a big disapointment in terms of the sound stage and other audio only performance levels as well the reliability factor
Esoteric DV 50? They do make a 2 channel. In fact, the 2 channel outputs far exceed the multichannel outs. It's really a super 2 channel player. Multi-it's not that special.
