In Reply to: Best dvd player under $1500.00? posted by onetrekkie on July 09, 2000 at 05:03:48:
The pioneer is a very good unit and I can strongly recommend it. To be honest, the differences among various dvd players in terms of picture and sound are really quite inconsequential (remember the review of the Faroudja super model when it first came out? everyone agreed that it might have a very slight edge on the sony but not to justify the cost differential). You should look at other features that might be important to you. The differences are also minimized when you've got your tv set/projector properly calibrated ala' ISF.The only question to ask yourself if whether or not you want to go for one of the progressive units out there and this depends on your playback system and whether or not you can take advantage of a progressive output signal.

But if you're not prepared to spend $6K (who really is?). With that being said I like the DV-09 over the 7700, but I also find the Revox D-27(?) very nice.
One of my concerns about the sony 7700 is it down conferts its digital output from 96/24 to 48/20. I don't know if that would effect my lexicon DC1 dts version or not.
It won't affect playback of movies (dts or DD) but it has implications for music if you play DAD's (96khz discs). I have a denon 5000 that does the same thing and I had MSB do a mod on it to put in a true 96khz digital output. I don't think that many would question that the pioneer 09 is a great unit -- if I had it to do over, I would have bought it over the denon although I've been very pleased with the music playback of the denon on dad's and HT soundtracks.
