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.

I use a combination of the Denon 1920 and a Lite Dac-AH. The combo should cost you around $400 give or take.

I use the coax out to the Dac-AH for redbook, the Denon's internal dacs for SACD and DVD-Audio, and toslink out to my preamp for home theater stuff.

It's a pretty great setup, very tough to beat for the money. You might also check out the Cambridge universal player; it's right around your budget and is well regarded.
