DVD/CD/SACD player advice needed

I need your help choosing a DVD/CD player for my second system (Panasonic 42 PWD6UY plasma, Acoustic Energy Aegis 2, 1,CC, Outlaw 1050 reciever). The system will be used 90%/ 10% movies/music.So far I'm considering Philips DVD 963 SA (wouldn't mind to have SACD as well). Appreciate any suggestions. Regards.

Buy the 963sa it sounds just as good as the Denon 2900 for half the money.
You will lose out on dvd-a, but that is no huge loss anyway imho.

The dautch, there are no reliability problems on the 963...maybe you are thinking of the infamous 2k Phillips sacd 1000 as it has serious problems.
There was a group shootout of the 963sa and Denon 2900 on www.avsforum.com a few months back and the 963sa was found to be equal for 5-600.00 less by all involved.

If you want better sonics, try the Marantz 8400 multi player imho.
