Multi channel SACD and DVD/A player under $2000


Looking to get recommendation on the best multi channel player in a reasonable budget. Redbook performance is not important as I have a pre/pro that handles redbook very well. Budget is flexible, but I'd like to keep it low as the future of SACD and DVD/A is still uncertain and I'm hesitant in investing too much yet. I currently have a Denon 3910 which does DVD/A fairly well, and SACD decently. I'd like the new player to sound significantly better in both, and it must have multi channel output.

Thanks,

Kennyt,

I was just thinking about DV-50 actually. Good thing about it is I'm somewhat familiar with the sound, as two of my friends already own it. And the bad thing about it is two of my friends already own it. :) I am hoping to try something different for a change. I think DV-50 sounds great, but I didn't fall in love with the sound. I listened to it only in their systems though. Maybe I'll borrow one and try it in my system some times.
Enrique, in which area did you like the Lexicon? AFAIK RT10 is based on Marantz (8400?). I know Marantz players are well received.

Does anyone have experience with Bel Canto, PL-1A or PL-2? It is well reviewed in the magazines, but not talked about a lot in the forums.
