There was another thread I posted on that was similar (not sure if it's the same person). It's going to be very hard to beat (or even meet) the Oppo 205. The best I can suggest is the Panasonic UDP-9000 ($995) combined with the "Complete MOD" from the Oppomod website (another $990). At that point, you are seriously competing with the Oppo 205.
At that point it might be worth it to you if you can sell the oppo for around $3k. However, I have seen them go on ebay lately for as low as $1800-2200.
