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.

Panasonic DVD-S25 or DVD-S35. In my search for sound I tried Sony XA777ES, Rotel, Cambridge Audio and then listened to Panasonic and realized that there is no reason to waste money. I don't even use it as DVD and I can't comment on it's image quality since I don't have a TV, I'm into sound kind of a guy.
It was recommended to me by Sean, knowledgeable poster on this site and audoasylum. Here is his review. Several month after his post this thread appeared. Once again, Sean knew what he was talking about!
