Great Progessive Scan and Great CD Playback?

Several months ago the Toshiba 9200 received excellent reviews from the Home Theater mags for its progressive scan abilities, and also from Stereophile for its excellent handling of CD's. Although the price for it has become quite reasonable (about $700), the assesments by hometheaterhifi.com of its progressive scan capabilities no longer put it at the head of the pack. I am looking for a DVD player that really does fabulous progressive scan and doubles as an excellent source for CD playback. Although there are some great candidates out there for video performance (Panasonic RP-91, Kenwood Soverign 5700), the audio source capabilities of these units remain relatively uncommented upon. Any thoughts on these units, or any suggestions on excellent video combined with excellent audio?

For all the people stating individual CD transports are best for CD listening, has anyone listened to the McIntosh MLD-7020 (LD/CD) as a transport? It is apparently one of the best kept secrets in CD players. The transport is incredible, wonderful build. I own the MLD-7020 and the
RP-91 Panny DVD. The Panny sounds wonderful in 2 channel (McIntosh MX--132 and MC-352) and have not thought of really using the MLD-7020 until I read this post!

Anyone with experience with the MLD-7020 for CD?
