DVD player upgrade......

I recently have a Sony DVP-777ES 400 disc changer for my 5.1 home theater and have not yet upgraded to 1080P. Would say a Denon 3930CI or 5910CI be the best upgrade for the money???? I am running an Onkyo Pro SC-885 pre processor, Parasound HCA 2205A power amp(220x5), full Paradigm Signature S1's, C1, ADP's all in piano black, a SVS PB-13Ultra subwoofer(piano black). I am running all Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerator bi-wired speaker wire, 3-T2's, T3, Precision AC, and Precision Reference RCA interconnects from Pre to amp, Quattro and QLS9 for my mpc active sheilding.I feel that the Sony being so old & outdated that it may be a weak link in my system. I am looking for more depth, dynamics, detail & soundstage to my movies. I am a 65% movie buff and 35% music. Any help would be appreciated!!!! THX

Onkyo DV-SP1000 or Integra DPS-10.5. Both are built like tanks(26.7 lbs) and have very high quality DACS(audio and video) resulting in incredible sound and video. $2000.00 player on used market for $275.00 to $450.00. Videogon has a couple for sale right now.

There are currently three Onkyo's and one Integra for sale on the bay right now.

I bought mine off the bay a few weeks ago and could not be more pleased.

Here are some pictures of my Onkyo from the Klipsch forum.

Bacardi,
I use my remote from my Onkyo TX-SR705 and unless I am missing something, it has all the functions I need except the resolution button. You could buy a remote from remotes.com or a similar website. Ebay has a couple of Onkyo's for sale. This one has the remote.

I have no experience with the Denon you mentioned, all I can tell you is the Onkyo/Integra players are very overbuilt and I am very happy with the performance.
