high end progressive scan dvd player

i am looking for a high end progressive scan dvd player. i have done a lot of research and found that many have the chroma bug problem. can anyone suggest a quality player that doesn't have that problem. and is it really that big a problem in the first place. thanks for your help.

i use a mitsubishi rear projection if that matters.

It is expensive ($6000 retail), but be sure to add the Simaudio Stellar to your short list.

mr_g3,

There are a couple things to consider in the case of the Simaudio Stellar and it's high price tag:

1) The Stellar was not just designed to be a flagship DVD player, but also a flagship CD player. For the person that wants a one-box solution, it is the best available, IMHO.

2) There are multiple versions and implementations of the Faroudja DCDi chipset. There is a VERY cheap one that is OEM'ed to the mass-market DVD companies, all the way to the VERY expensive top of the line "Stingray" version (which is implemented in the Stellar). So, if you plan on purchasing a DVD player with DCDi, make sure you ask the salesman which version is implemented in the player you are interested in.

Hope this helps.....Mike - Father & Son Audio
