I have the McIntosh MVP-841 dvd/cd player, and it is fed into the McIntosh MA-6500 integrated amp. I love the function of the two together. My red book cd's sound superb. I also have a sony es9000 sacd/cd/dvd, and a sony 775 sacd player. The McIntosh sounds better than the Sonys using the same cables and cd. Pricey, but worth every penny!
