DVD player recomendations

Ok I have a good one for fellow "goners" I have a Pioneer DV 414 dvd player that is probably close to 5 years old and looking to upgrade.My budget is somewhere around $5-700.00 and I am willing to bump it up to $1000 if the difference will be dramatic enough.I actually would prefer buying used to make my dollar go further.I am after a dvd player that will"smoke the doors" on my 414 in audio and video.SACD is not a important option or the DVI for that matter.If I can get some recomendations to get me started in the right direction,would be a great help.
Thank,Tim

Arcam would be my pick, audio-wise. The Denon 2200 is also worth looking at (on the bargain end), and even though you don't NEED SACD, you might want to check out the Sony DVP-NS999ES.

Despite my respect for the Arcam unit(s), I recently had a JVC player fail on me, and I am getting an exchange refund from J & R, so I opted for the Denon 5900 (J & R don't sell Arcam). I had them send it straight to Dan Wright at ModWright, so I am looking forward to my modded unit to arrive sometime in the next couple of weeks. I have not heard any of Dan's products, so I am taking somewhat of a gamble, but after reading all the reviews, studying what is being modded, and talking with Dan, I feel very confident that I will have myself a top notch universal player.
