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 ThePerfectVision's (Winter '07) review of the OppoDigital DV-97HD. Universal player for SACD & DVD-A. HDMI outs with 720p/1080i upconversion.
And, it's only $149.
I have no personal experience but at this price point I've already recommended a couple of MidFi friends take a look. I may pick one up for secondary rooms.
