Inexpensive DVD deck with good sound?

I'm looking to get a DVD player that will also serve as an upgrade to my current (Phillips, more than a decade old) CD player. Don't have a lot to spend--let's set the budget at $400, and I'd be happy to spend less (as I'll need to buy a TV set, too).

I have an NAD reciever and PSB B-25 speakers. The NAD T-534 looks like it might be good, but I can't find any reviews or opinions about it. Cambridge Audio and Panasonic also seem well-regarded in this price range, but, again, solid info about their audio quality seems scant. Suggestions are welcome.

Check out the Sony DVP-NC555ES. You should be able to find one new for <$400. Used for less than that. I have 2 of them and they've replaced a Sony 7700, and Denon DVP2200. The fact it's a 5 disc changer is a big bonus for me - though it's a larger footprint than you may be looking for. It's far better on redbook than anything else I've tried in the price range. Oh, and it's a multi-channel SACD player too.

Below is a description of them from SACDMods.com
