In your experience, what is the best Pioneer Elite units of Audiophile quality?

Thanks  minorl for your extensive list.  As much as I appreciate state of the art, I very much enjoy some of the great gear that has come before. 

1.  DV-09;  Extremely overbuilt and excellent as a transport.  hard to beat even today.  
2.  DV-79AVI:  All around excellent transport and excellent as a CD player.  Very nice internal DACS.
3.  BDP-95 FD:  very nice unit 
4.  BDP-09 FD:  This is the monster.  It has I believe Four internal DACS and is a rock solid transport also.  I use this in 2 channel listening room as a transport into my Audio Research DAC 9.  I also feed directly from the analog output into my pre-amp (in case my DAC 9 is out).  I have not only a McIntosh Labs MS300 music server (currently in my office system), but an Aurender ACS-10 music server/streamer/ripper in my main system, and the BDP-09 into the DAC 9 is better that the Aurender ACS-10 streaming and also playing music from the internal hard disc.  I'm telling you the BDP-09 is outstanding.

Pioneer did not play around with their Elite units.  This was Pioneer's "high end" and they did it very well.  The DV-09 doesn't play some CD's, but man is is well built and nice.

The BDP-09 is outstanding as a transport and very nice as a CD player.

These were multiple thousand dollar units in the day, which when compared to today's units fare extremely well if not better, and for the money ($450) used, there is no way you can beat them.  

enjoy

I used a PD65 for 20 years and I loved the player. Unfortunately the laser fell out ( it’s glued in) so I dumped it. Are the later Pioneer Elite CD Players as good?
