Best under $2000.00 : Denon,Marantz,Onkyo,Pioneer?

Hello,
I am extremely interested in purchasing the very best sonically performing universal disc player for $2,000.00 or less, brand new.
To those who have compared them or some of them:
Between the Denon DVD-5900, Denon DVD-3910, Marantz DV9500, Onkyo DV-SP1000, and Pioneer DV-59AVI, which has the very best sonics, especially playing 2 channel stereo, with the following formats:
Red-book CD's?
DVD-Audio?
SACD?
Which of the above has the very best video performance?
I am especially interested in the very best sonics from DVD-Audio discs playing their Advanced Resolution Stereo mixes.
Which of the above names players do you think would excel best,sonically, with the stereo mixes on DVD-Audio discs?
Thanks for all your help!

Onkyo ? I can't believe it!
Is'nt it sold in Department Stores?

No seriously, resale value must be a consideration.
The Onkyo name does not impress.

But, being the true Audiophile I am , I am interested.

Could anyone comment how this unit compares to the Sony SCD-XA-9000ES , or the Denon Exemplar, or the Krell units.
Primarily in Redbook and SACD sound quality .
