Its been a while since I did my homework on progressive scan DVD Players but I am a firm believer of "you get what you pay for". When Pioneer came out with their Progressive Scan DVD Player, I believe it was the DV-37, its in their elite line, I didnt think their would be that much difference between a $500 player and a $1000 player. But I am so happy that I went the route of the Pioneer player. Best DVD Player that I have owned. I have an HDTV and its amazing how crystal clear the picture looks, even at 480P only. I hear the Denon is an excellent choice as well. You figure you cant go wrong with Denon or Pioneer's Elite line.

I dont know if you want to focus on DVD-Audio just yet as it hasnt seemed to pick up in the consumer market. I think Sony's SuperCD is more popular.

Another factor you need to consider is the quality of your HDTV. Mitsubshi has three differnt grades of their HDTV. Not sure about the other manufacturers.

When it comes to home theater equipment never cut corners on cost. You might think you are getting a better deal with a cheaper piece of equipment, and sometimes you do. Take your time and do alot of research.
